▍ NVIDIA RAID Using the Storage Page From the Storage page, you can accomplish the following tasks: ■ Create an Array ■ Delete an Array ■ Rebuild an Array ■ Synchronize an Array ■ Designate a Spare Disk ■ Remove a Spare ■ Migrate an Array ■ Using the SMART Disk Feature Create an Array This option is available only if there are free disks that are RAID-enabled. Click Create array to start the Create Array Wizard and then follow the instructions. You can press F1 to access the online help that walks you through the Wizard with step-by-step instructions. Delete an Array This option is available only if RAID arrays have been created. Click Delete array to start the Delete Array Wizard and then follow instructions. You can press F1 to access the online help that walks you through the Wizard with step-by-step instructions. Rebuild an Array About Rebuilding Rebuilding is the process of restoring data to a hard drive from other drives in the array. For example, if you have a three disk RAID 5 array and one of the drives fails, you will need to replace the failed drive with a new one, and rebuild the array to re-generate the lost data on the newly added drive. Rebuilding applies only to fault-tolerant arrays such as RAID 1, RAID 0+1, or RAID 5 Arrays. Instructions Click Rebuild array to start the Rebuild Create Array Wizard and then follow the instructions. You can press F1 to access the online help that walks you through the Wizard with step-by-step instructions. The rebuilding process takes some time to complete, and occurs in the background so as not to affect the performance of the system. Synchronize an Array Synchronizing an array will force a rebuild of redundancy or parity. The operation applies to any fault-tolerant array such as RAID 1, 0+1 and RAID 5. Click Synchronize array to start the Synchronize Array Wizard and then follow instructions. B-12

Us±ng the Storage Page
From the Storage page, you can accompl±sh the follow±ng tasks:
Create an Array
Delete an Array
Rebu±ld an Array
Synchron±ze an Array
Des±gnate a Spare D±sk
Remove a Spare
M±grate an Array
Us±ng the SMART D±sk Feature
Create an Array
Th±s opt±on ±s ava±lable only ±f there are free d±sks that are RAID-enabled.
Cl±ck
Create array to start the Create Array W±zard and then follow the ±nstruct±ons.
You can press
F1 to access the onl±ne help that walks you through the W±zard w±th
step-by-step ±nstruct±ons.
Delete an Array
Th±s opt±on ±s ava±lable only ±f RAID arrays have been created.
Cl±ck
Delete array to start the Delete Array W±zard and then follow ±nstruct±ons.
You can press
F1 to access the onl±ne help that walks you through the W±zard w±th
step-by-step ±nstruct±ons.
Rebu±ld an Array
About Rebu±ld±ng
Rebu±ld±ng ±s the process of restor±ng data to a hard dr±ve from other dr±ves ±n the array.
For example, ±f you have a three d±sk RAID 5 array and one of the dr±ves fa±ls, you w±ll
need to replace the fa±led dr±ve w±th a new one, and rebu±ld the array to re-generate the
lost data on the newly added dr±ve.
Rebu±ld±ng appl±es only to fault-tolerant arrays such as RAID 1, RAID 0+1, or RAID 5
Arrays.
Instruct±ons
Cl±ck Rebu±ld array to start the Rebu±ld Create Array W±zard and then follow the ±nstruc-
t±ons.
You can press
F1 to access the onl±ne help that walks you through the W±zard w±th
step-by-step ±nstruct±ons.
The rebu±ld±ng process takes some t±me to complete, and occurs ±n the background so
as not to affect the performance of the system.
Synchron±ze an Array
Synchron±z±ng an array w±ll force a rebu±ld of redundancy or par±ty. The operat±on
appl±es to any fault-tolerant array such as RAID 1, 0+1 and RAID 5.
Cl±ck
Synchron±ze array to start the Synchron±ze Array W±zard and then follow
±nstruct±ons.
