Chapter 3 HP NetRAID Config 3. When you have selected the logical drives you want to initialize, press F10 and choose Yes at the confirmation prompt. The progress of the initialization for each drive is shown in bar graph format. 4. When initialization is complete, press any key to continue. Press Esc to return to the Management menu. Individual Initialization To initialize one logical drive, perform the following steps: 1. Choose Objects from the HP NetRAID Config Management menu. 2. Choose Logical Drive from the Objects menu. 3. Select the logical drive to be initialized. 4. Choose Initialize from the Action menu. The progress of the initialization appears as a bar graph. 5. When initialization completes, press any key to return to the previous menu. F Changing Logical Drives Currently in Use You can make several kinds of changes to logical drives that are currently in use. You can: • Change the RAID level. • Remove a physical drive. • Add a physical drive. See Chapter 6, "Capacity Expansion," in this guide for complete instructions. All such changes to existing logical drives require reconstructing the data. Reconstruction is the process of reorganizing the data to correspond to a change in the HP NetRAID system. Reconstruction occurs in the background, so the HP NetServer and the affected logical drive remain available throughout the reconstruction process. NOTE Once started, the reconstruction process cannot be stopped. The Power Fail Safeguard feature protects logical drives against data loss during the reconstruction process should a power failure occur. For complete information, see "Power Fail Safeguard Feature" in Chapter 5 in this guide. 69

Changing Logical Drives Currently in Use
You can make several kinds of changes to logical drives that are currently in use.
You can:
•
Change the RAID level.
•
Remove a physical drive.
•
Add a physical drive. See Chapter 6, "Capacity Expansion," in this guide
for complete instructions.
All such changes to existing logical drives require reconstructing the data.
Reconstruction is the process of reorganizing the data to correspond to a change in
the HP NetRAID system. Reconstruction occurs in the background, so the
HP NetServer and the affected logical drive remain available throughout the
reconstruction process.
NOTE
Once started, the reconstruction process cannot be stopped.
The Power Fail Safeguard feature protects logical drives against data loss during
the reconstruction process should a power failure occur. For complete
information, see "Power Fail Safeguard Feature" in Chapter 5 in this guide.
