ICP RAID Console Flash-RAM of the ICP RAID controller. To change the position of a host drive in the host drive list, highlight the host drive and confirm by pressing Enter. Then, type in the new position and press Enter. Remove Host Drive Removing a host drive results in the loss of all data. All data will be lost after removal. If you remove a host drive belonging to an array drive for which several host drives exist (after capacity expansion, or after splitting), all other host drives will also be removed. Add Hot Fix Drive Add Hot Fix Drive allows you to add a hot fix drive to an existing RAID 1, RAID 4, RAID 5, or RAID 10 array drive. There are two different types of hot fix drives: Private and Pool hot fix drives. A pool hot fix drive is a spare drive within the so-called hot fix pool. A drive in a hot fix pool is available for several array drives as a hot fix drive. Thus, several array drives can share one hot fix drive. Once this drive has been used by one of the array drives, it is no longer available to the others. A private hot fix drive is dedicated to one RAID 4, RAID 5, or RAID 10 array drive. Remove Hot Fix Drive Remove Hot Fix Drive allows you to remove a previously assigned hot fix drive. Overwrite Master Boot Code This option creates a valid and consistent master boot record on the selected host drive and should be carried out on any new host drive on which Windows NT is installed. Never use this function when the host drive contains valid data, as all data will be lost. Cluster Type (Priv./local) The option, Cluster Type (Priv./local), is available only with ICP RAID controllers which are equipped with Cluster Firmware and allows you to assign one host drive to several ICP RAID controllers (Type Cluster). See Section A.1, Server Clustering for details on clustering. Note: Refer to your product's Hardware Guide to determine if clustering is supported. 10.4.2 Repair Array Drives From the Express Setup menu, select Repair Array Drives and press Enter to display a list of the array drives in the Summary screen. This function allows the online repair of array drives which show failed drives. ICPCON displays a summary of all installed array drives and the number of array drives which are in critical states. For example, there is one array drive in the Fail state in Figure 10-50. Software Installation and User's Guide 109
