StorCase Technology, Inc. InfoStation 16-Bay RAID User's Guide - Rev. F00
6.A.3.1.1-6.A.3.1.2 Source Disk and Target Disk
NOTE: Make sure that target disk capacity is equal to or larger than the source disk
capacity. Disk cloning will not occur if target disk is smaller than the source
disk.
Select the desired source disk from the displayed array member, as well as desired target
disk to be cloned.
6.A.3.1.3 Start Permanent Clone
Select either Yes or No.
Once background copying is done, disk cloning will remain in a state of mirroring. Select Yes
for controller to keep both disks synchronized permanently and replace source disks when
necessary.
6.A.3.1.4 Start Swap after Clone
The source disk array will be replaced by the clone disk, and taken offline.
6.A.3.2 Stop Disk Clone
This function enables the user to manually stop disk cloning.
6.A.3.3 Replace Source Disk
This function enables the user to manually replace the source disk by the clone disk once
background copying is done. Disk will remain in a state of mirroring.
6.A.4 SMART
SMART (Self-Monitoring, Analysis, and Reporting Technology) protects user data and
minimizes the likelihood of unscheduled system downtime that may result from predictable
degradation and/or drive fault. By monitoring and storing critical performance and calibration
parameters, SMART drives attempt to predict near-term degradation or fault conditions.
Providing the host system with such data allows the host to warn the user of impending risk
of data loss.
