version software (and later), the system
automatically adapts for data mismatches
and unequal hard disk capacity. The system
attempts a disk mirror rebuild.

The system continues to operate. Nortel
recommends that you perform the following:

Examine the status report to determine
which hard disk has the smaller capacity.

Replace the smaller hard disk (primary
master or mirror master) with a new hard
disk of the correct size. Equipment
provided by Nortel assures correct hard
disk capacity requirements.

Solid red

Drives are not in mirror mode.

Missing or bad hard disk (1 or both).

Occurs on newly installed RAID card
or hard disk (first 10 min). SSM
begins mirror process — no action

initialized (core software, WAN,
MSC).

Immediate action required:

Check the RAID operational status.

Check hard disk power and data
connections.

Replace the hard disk if required.

Initialize the BCM system.
