Mirroring your hard drive 15-7
Chapter 15: Initial System Administration
Wave Global Administrator Guide
Three scenarios are possible with Wave hard drives:
• A Wave Server purchased with two hard drives is preconfigured for RAID-1. The second
hard drive is mirrored for you.
• If you add a second hard drive after you purchase a Wave Server, you need to configure
RAID-1 on the second hard drive and mirror it. See the instructions below.
• If you need to recover a Wave system using a mirrored hard drive, you must break the
mirror, power off the Wave Server, install the mirrored drive in slot A and insert a new
drive in slot B, restart, and then mirror the new hard drive. See “Recovering with RAID-1
Configuration” on page 23-41.
Note the following:
• The hard drive labelled Disk 1 should be blank, unformatted, and partitionless. If the hard
drive has partitions, delete the partitions before mirroring it. See “Clearing an old hard
drive” on page 23-38.
• To view SNMP alarms while you are mirroring the hard drive, open another browser
window on your workstation, log onto the Management Console, click the
Administration tab if necessary, and click the SNMP Alarms icon. The SNMP Alarms
applet reports the SNMP traps as they occur.
To mirror a new hard drive
1 Shut down the Wave Server.
2 Insert the new hard drive in slot B.
3 Restart the Wave Server.
4 Log on to the Management Console.
5 If necessary, click the Administration tab of the Management Console.
6 Click the RAID-1 Configuration icon, located in the General Administration section.
7 If the new disk is not completely blank, the Disk Management applet opens. Go to step 9.
