Preliminary steps
▶
If the HDD module to be removed is combined into a RAID array, please
proceed as follows:
RAID level
Procedure
RAID 0 Only remove an HDD module combined in a RAID 0 array if
defective.
CAUTION
RAID 0 provides no data redundancy.
In case of an HDD module is defect, all data are lost!
RAID 1 Removing an HDD module from a RAID 1 array will not result in
data loss. However, the removed drive needs to be replaced
immediately by an HDD module of the same or larger capacity
.
After replacing the HDD module, RAID rebuild will be
performed as a background process, see "Performing
a RAID array rebuild" on page 69
.
In order to permanently remove an operational HDD module that is part of a
RAID array from the server, you first need to delete the array using HII
Configuration Utility
.
CAUTION
All data on all HDDs in the array will be lost when deleting the RAID
array!
▶
Be sure to back up your data before deleting a RAID array.
