6-15 5. 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 hotpluggable 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.
