Preliminary steps
▶
If the HDD to be removed is combined into a RAID array, proceed as
follows:
RAID level Procedure
RAID 0
CAUTION
RAID 0 provides no data redundancy.
In case of an HDD/SSD module is defect,
all data are lost!
RAID 1
RAID 5
Removing an HDD module from a RAID 1 or RAID
5 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 92.
In order to permanently remove an operational HDD that is part of a RAID
array from the server
, you first need to delete the array using ServerV
iew RAID
Manager.
CAUTION
All data on all HDDs/SSDs in the array will be lost when deleting the
RAID array!
▶
Be sure to back up your data before deleting a RAID array.
