Replacing a redundant system disk drive: DupliDisk III Controller
If one of the system disk drives fails, the buzzer in the DupliDisk controller sounds,
indicating the drive has failed. The failed drive LED flashes RED, and the Master
LED turns RED. (Refer to “Interpreting the DupliDisk III control panel LEDs” on
page 105..) The NetCentral system also generates a Warning message. The buzzer
continues to sound until the system is turned off or the buzzer switch on the DupliDisk
controller is depressed. When a failure is detected, the remaining drive automatically
takes over and allows you to safely save the data and shut down the system to replace
the failed drive.
To replace the bad drive:
1. Close any open application and shut down the Profile XP system.
2. Power-up the Profile XP system and press F2 to enter Setup.
3. Use the arrow keys to move the screen highlight to Boot (highlight is normally on
Boot by default).
4. Adjust the order of the boot devices as necessary so that they appear as follows.
Make the Super Drive (Removable Devices) or the Floppy Drive, depending on
you system configuration, the first boot device:
Removable Devices (or Floppy Drive)
CD-ROM
Hard Drive
5. Insert your bootable DupliDisk Utilities diskette into disk drive. To create this
diskettes, refer to “Creating a bootable DupliDisk Utilities diskette” on page 108.
6. Press F10 to save and exit Setup.
7. The Profile XP system boots from the bootable DupliDisk Utilities diskette. The
discovery of the mirrored system drives may take several minutes.
8. From the on-screen menu, choose menu item 2, Dupli.exe for DupliDisk2 and
DupliDisk3.
9. The Dupli Mirroring Utility will identify the failed drive. Confirm that the drive
identified by the utility is the same as the drive indicated by the flashing red LED
on the DupliDisk II controller. The following figure indicates a bad Primary drive.
