4 - Device Management
Select the “Manage - Device” function to access the device management page.
Note:
When expanding a JBOD array, all the original disks must be included in the target array,
and these disks must be selected in the same order (as the original array). If you want to
migrate a JBOD array to another RAID level, only the first member disk can be included
in the target array. For example, a JBOD comprised of 3 disks (1, 2, 3), can only be
“migrated” using disk 1. Disks 2 and 3 cannot be used – disk 1 would have to be
combined with other disks attached to the RocketRAID card (4).
You cannot change an array to another type of array with a smaller capacity. In some
cases, a disk may need to be added to the RocketRAID card.
During the OCE/ORLM procedure, the redundancy level of the array will be the lowest
of the source and target arrays; e.g. if you ORLM a RAID0 array to a RAID1 array, the
array will be non-redundant until the procedure is complete.
The OCE/ORLM process can be aborted and continued at later time. However, you
should always stop the transform progress from the RAID Management software.
An unexpected system crash may result in data loss while performing OCE/ORLM on an
array. We strongly recommend backing up data before starting the OCE/ORLM process.
After the OCE/ORLM procedure has completed, reboot the system.
Renaming an Array
To rename an array:
1. Select “Manage - Array” from the menu.
2. Click on the Maintenance button.
3. Enter a new name for the array.
4. Click the Rename button.
Note: An array running background tasks cannot be renamed.
