Chapter 8. Configuring Units Adding a Drive through 3DM Note: If you have a 9550SX or 9590SE controller, when you add a drive to your system and connect it to the controller, it is automatically detected and listed in 3DM and the CLI. If you have a 9500S or 7/8000 controller, follow the steps below to make a new drive available. If you have a hot-swap carrier, you can add a drive to your system and make it available through 3DM without powering down the system. Without hot swap carriers, you should not add a drive via 3DM. Instead, power down the system and add the applicable drives. Warning: Physically adding a drive without a hotswap carrier and without powering down your system can result in a system hang or may even damage the system and the drive. To add a drive through 3DM when you have hot-swap carriers 1 Connect the drive physically to the controller. 2 In 3DM, choose Management > Maintenance. 3 On the Maintenance Page, click Rescan Controller. The drive will appear in the list of available drives. You can now use it in a new RAID configuration, or as a replacement drive in the event that another drive degrades. If you want to use this drive as a spare, see "Creating a Hot Spare" on page 139. 168 3ware Serial ATA RAID Controller User Guide
