the system will need to synchronize all of the active server data to the passive server. Please
note that switchover and auto-failover will not be available during synchronization.
1. On the active server, go to
Storage Manager
and check which drive is missing.
2. Install a new drive into the correct slot on the passive server.
3. Go to
