130 3ware Serial ATA RAID Controller User Guide

To add a drive

1 Insert the drive into the hot-swap carrier or into your 3ware Sidecar.

2 In 3DM, choose

Management > Maintenance.

3 On the Maintenance page, click Rescan Controller.

The drive will appear in the list of available drives. You can now use it in

a new RAID configuration, as part of an existing configuration, or as a

replacement drive in the event that another drive degrades.

If you want to use this drive as a spare, see “Creating a Hot Spare” on

page 103.

Removing a Drive

If you have a hot-swap carrier or 3ware Sidecar and want to physically

remove a drive from your system without powering it down, you should first

remove it through the 3ware software.

This is useful if you know that a drive is developing a problem and you want

to replace it, or to replace a drive which has already failed.

Note: When you add a drive to your system and connect it to the controller, it is

automatically detected and listed in 3DM. If it does not immediately display, or if it is

part of a unit, you can use the rescan feature, as described below.

Warnings:

Physically removing a drive that is not in a hot swap carrier or that is part of a non-

redundant unit, can result in a system hang or may even damage the system and

the drive.

The steps below will destroy any information that identifies this drive as part of a

RAID unit.

Existing data on this drive will no longer be available.

Notes:

If you want to remove a unit from your system and reassemble it in another system,

do not follow these steps. Instead, turn to “Removing a Unit” on page 123.

If you physically remove a drive on a controller without first removing it in 3DM, it will

be listed as removed, however it will not be completely removed unless you Rescan

the controller.

Drives that are part of a non-redundant or degraded unit cannot be removed.
