Running PDM on a Disk Array
Predictive Data Migration (PDM) migrates data from the suspect physical drive to
a spare physical drive, similar to Rebuilding. Unlike Rebuilding, PDM acts before
the disk drive fails and your Logical Drive goes Critical. See “Predictive Data
Migration (PDM)” on page 302.
To start PDM:
1. Click the Subsystem icon in Tree View.
2. Click the Disk Arrays icon.
3. Click the Disk Array icon.
4. From the dropdown menu the Background Activities tab, choose Start
PDM.
5. Choose the Source physical drive.
The source drive is the physical drive at risk of failure.
6. Choose the Target physical drive.
The target drive is the replacement physical drive.
7. Click the Submit button.
Transitioning a Disk Array
Transition is the process of replacing a revertible spare drive that is currently part
of a disk array with an unconfigured physical drive or a non-revertible spare. The
revertible spare drive returns to its original status. For more information, see
“Transition” on page 303.
In order to run the Transition function:
• The spare drive must be Revertible.
• You must specify an unconfigured physical drive of the same or larger
capacity to replace the revertible spare drive.
To run Transition:
1. Click the Subsystem icon in Tree View.
2. From the dropdown menu on the Background Activities tab, choose Start
Transition.
3. Choose an unconfigured physical drive from the list of available drives.
4. From the Target Physical Drive dropdown menu, choose an unconfigured
physical drive.
5. Click the Submit button.
