The SMART-2DH Controller firmware will reconstruct the information
on the new drive based on information from the remaining physical
drives in the logical drive. While reconstructing the data on hot-
pluggable drives, the Online LED will blink. The controller will signal
that it has completed rebuilding the information on the drive by
lighting the Online LED.
6.
NetWare/intraNetWare has no knowledge of a single physical drive
failure when using hardware-based fault tolerance; intraNetWare will
find that the data is still valid and accessible during the rebuilding
process.
Recovering Drives Configured for
NetWare/intraNetWare
Fault Tolerance
If you have chosen no fault tolerance for the drives connected to your
SMART-2DH Controller and have configured NetWare/intraNetWare
mirroring or NetWare/intraNetWare controller duplexing, use the following
procedure to recover the data after a drive failure:
1.
Identify the failed physical drive that caused the
NetWare/intraNetWare device to be deactivated due to drive failure.
Record the device number and device name of the failed logical drive.
For example:
Device #1 (47000) Slot 1 Disk 1 NFT
The failure messages are recorded on the server console and also in the
server error log file, which may be viewed using the SYSCON utility
(3.12) or the NWADMIN utility (4.x). This information will be used
later to recreate a valid partition.
2.
Load the
INSTALL.NLM
and select the Disk Options Mirroring menu.
Select the mirrored logical partition that was affected by the drive failure
(step 1 above). Record the device number and partition number of the
operational logical drive in this mirrored group. This information will be
used later to remirror the repaired logical drive.
For example:
NetWare 386 Partition 3 on Device #2 (47110)
