Hard Disk Drives RAID Monitoring
The appliance does RAID1 mirroring across two hard disk drives using software RAID.
This lets the appliance continue to work if there is a hard disk failure.
The mirror rebuild is automatic. The two hard disk drives must be the same type.
First Boot Up
At first boot up, wait for two hours to let the hard disks fully synchronize. If you reboot the
appliance before the hard disks are synchronized, the synchronization starts again at the
next boot.
To monitor the RAID status of the disks from the CLI:
1. Log in to the appliance.
2. Use one of these tools to monitor the RAID status of the hard disks:
Run raid_diagnostic
This shows data about the RAID and hard disks, with the percent
synchronization done.
DiskID 0 is the left hard disk. DiskID 1 is the right hard disk.
Run cpstat os –f raidInfo
This shows almost the same information as the raid_diagnostic command
in tabular format

To monitor the RAID status of the hard disks using SNMP:
Set up SNMP traps to send information about the RAID.
Use OID: 1.3.6.1.4.1.2620.1.6.7.7
For more about configuring the SNMP settings on the appliance, see the Gaia or
SecurePlatform Administration Guide for the applicable version.
To hot swap a hard disk drive:
Important - Make sure that there is at least one fully synchronized hard disk
in the system.
1. When the system is up, remove the failed hard disk.
2. Wait 15 seconds.
The appliance recognizes that you removed a hard disk.
3. Insert a new hard disk. If necessary, you can reboot the appliance with one hard disk
and install the new hard disk later.
The system automatically adds the new hard disk to the RAID configuration.
