Auto-detection of Hot-Plug Disk Drives in a Non-Intelligent
Drive Enclosure
This is a special feature that allows the use of non-intelligent disk enclosures (requires truly hot-
pluggable disk drives and backplane connectors) as though they were intelligent enclosures. This
feature is configurable and allows the user to set up non-intelligent enclosures to detect the
insertion or removal of hot plug disk drives and report the event to the RAID firmware. The RAID
configuration is automatically updated to the new configuration. Access this feature through the
Advanced Setup menu of Storage Console.
Auto-declare Hot Fix (Spare) Drive
If the RAID controller has a RAID array drive that is in failed (degraded) state, and you connect to
the controller a new hard disk drive that is the same size or larger than the smallest disk drive in
that failed (degraded) RAID array then the RAID firmware will automatically mark this new disk
drive as a hot fix (spare) drive for the failed (degraded) RAID array drive. Rebuild will then
automatically commence. If the new hard disk is smaller than the smallest hard disk drive in the
failed (degraded) RAID array drive, the new disk drive will not be marked as a spare and the failed
(degraded) RAID array drive will remain failed (degraded). When a non-intelligent enclosure that
has not been configured for auto-detection of hot plug disk drives is used, a bus scan or reboot is
required for the Auto Declare Hot Fix feature to commence.
RAID Array Drive Roaming
Array Roaming allows the user the ability to move a complete RAID array from one computer
system (for example, computer #1) to another computer system (computer #2) and preserve the
RAID configuration information and user data on that RAID array. Computer #2 must also have an
SRCS14L controller installed. RAID arrays set up with an SRCS14L controller cannot roam to
computers that use other controllers.
may need to be rebooted.
RAID arrays set up with an SRCS14L controller cannot roam to computers that use other
controllers (anything other than the SRCS14L). Unpredictable behavior may include, but is not
limited to, data loss or corruption.
On-line RAID Array Configurations
On-line capacity expansion refers to the ability of the RAID controller to present new storage space
to the host OS without requiring that the computer system must be taken off-line and rebooted (for
those Operating systems that support this feature). The host OS is able to detect the new capacity
and format and partition it for immediate use. The RAID controller offers several ways of creating
additional capacity while on-line.
