7.3 Manage onboard RAID system
SIMATIC IPC547G
110 Operating Instructions, 04/2020, A5E49948632-AA
7.3.6 Special feature: Replacing hard disk in the RAID system when switched off
The RAID system does not automatically boot up when restarted if a defective hard disk was
replaced while the RAID system is switched off. Therefore, place the RAID system in the first
place of the bootable sources in the BIOS setup menu "Boot". Otherwise, the system will
boot from the hard disk you have just installed and the message "Operating system not
found" will be displayed.
7.3.7 Integrating a new hard disk drive in the RAID system
The RAID system is configured in the delivery state so that a new hard disk must be
integrated manually when a defective hard disk was replaced.
However, you can configure the RAID system for automatic integration of a new hard disk
after replacement of a defective hard disk.
RAID systems with a hot-spare hard disk are configured so that the hot-spare hard disk is
automatically integrated in the event of an error.
Configuration of the automatic integration of a new hard disk (prior to replacing a defective hard disk)
If a new hard disk is automatically integrated in case of an error, the new hard disk is not
checked for partition information or existing data.
All partitions and data on the new hard disk are erased without warning.
Only use a brand-new hard disk or a hard disk that is configured as a replacement drive.
Notes on creating spare drives are available in the controller documentation.
1. Select "Start" > "Programs" > "Intel Rapid Storage Technology".
2. Select the "Preferences" menu.
3. Go to the "Automatic Rebuild" area and activate the "Auto-rebuild on hot plug" option.
Configuration of the manual integration of a new hard disk (prior to replacing a defective hard disk)
The RAID system is configured in the delivery state so that a new hard disk must be
integrated manually when a defective hard disk was replaced.
You can configure the manual integration of the hard disk or check the settings yourself.
1. Select "Start" > "Programs" > "Intel Rapid Storage Technology".
2. Select the "Preferences" menu.
3. Go to the "Automatic Rebuild" area and deactivate the "Auto-rebuild on hot plug" option.
