Adding a Spare Disk

If you create a mirrored or RAID 5 array without

spare disks (RAID 0 arrays cannot have spares), fol-

low these steps to add up to two spare disks later:

1 From the Main menu for the array, select Change

Array C

onfiguration.

2 Select Add Spare Drives.

3 If prompted to enter the number of spares, type 1

or 2 and press Enter.

4 Press Ta b to select the channel with the spare

disk(s). A list of disks on that channel appears to

the right. Select each spare disk by pressing the ↑

and ↓ keys until the disk name is highlighted, and

then pressing Ins or Enter.

5 When you have finished selecting spares, press Esc.

6 When prompted, type y to accept the new spare

disks, or n to reselect the disks.

You need not reformat the array.

Deleting a Spare Disk

To delete a spare disk from an array, select the Delete

Spare command from the Configuration menu. If the

array has two spares, first select the spare you want

to delete. Type y when the prompt asks you to con-

firm the deletion.

Initializing Arrays

When you create a new array or redefine disks (other

than spares) in an existing array, you are automatically

prompted to initialize the array. You can choose to low-

level format the array or initialize it with zeros. (For a

brief description of both formatting methods, see

page 3.)

If necessary, you can reinitialize an existing array if

the data on the array has become corrupted. To do

this, follow the directions in the AHA-3980/3980W/

3985/3985W User’s Guide.
