Working with Failed or Failing Disk Drives

This section describes how to use maxView Storage Manager to manage failed or failing disk drives in

your storage space.

Replacing Disk Drives in a Logical Drive

You can replace one or more disk drives in a logical drive. You may want to replace a drive to upgrade

to larger disk drives, or to make disk drive size uniform across the logical drive.

Caution: If another disk drive in the logical drive fails during rebuild (see Rebuilding

Logical Drives on page 113), you may lose data. For help solving disk drive problems,

see Recovering from a Disk Drive Failure on page 111.

To replace a disk drive in a logical drive:

1. In the Physical Devices tree in the Enterprise View, nd the disk drive you want to replace; note its

size and location (for instance Slot 1 in Enclosure 0).

2. Set the drive state to failed. (See Setting a Disk Drive to ‘Failed’ on page 78.)

3. Remove and replace the disk drive with one of equal or greater size.

4. Wait for the logical drive to rebuild. (See Rebuilding Logical Drives on page 113.)

5. Repeat these steps for each disk drive you want to replace.

Setting a Disk Drive to ‘Failed’

Before you can remove a disk drive, you should set it to a failed state to protect your data. You cannot

use maxView Storage Manager to set the drive state to Failed. You must use the Adaptec RAID Controller

Conguration command line utility (ARCCONF), to change the drive state. First, use the Storage Dashboard

to determine the drive's device ID and channel number on the controller (see Viewing Component Status

in the Storage Dashboard on page 90). Then, use the ARCCONF SETSTATE command to change the

drive's state to Failed. See the Adaptec RAID Controllers Command Line Utility User's Guide for details

about using ARCCONF.

You can set a disk drive to a failed state if:

• The disk drive is not part of a logical drive, or

• The disk drive is part of a redundant, healthy logical drive
