Taking Down a Drive
CAUTION: This function is ONLY for testing arrays and should NOT be used in normal
operation!
The Down Drive function allows the user to set the status of a drive (in a fault-tolerant) drive
to DOWN. This forces the controller to remove it from the array and mark the array as critical
(only one drive at a time can be DOWN).
The user must use Rescan to make the drive display again (refer to section "Rescanning All
Channels" for further information). After rescan, the user must clear the metadata from the
drive before using it again in an array or as a spare (refer to section "Clearing Metadata from
a Drive" for further information).
To take down a drive:
1. Select Utilities Menu from the System Menu and press Enter.
The Utilities Menu screen should now display (Figure 47).
2. Select Drive Utilities Menu and press Enter.
The Drive Utilities Menu should now display (Figure 76).
3. Select Down Drive and press Enter.
The Select Drive screen should now display.
4. Select the desired drive and press Enter.
The system will confirm your request to DOWN the drive.
5. Select Yes and press Enter.
