Hot swap

Use the 3DM Configure Display, to hot swap a failed drive in a mirrored array. The system remains up and accessible during the hot swap procedure. To access the Configure Display enter the URL of the 3DM port in the address bar of your standard web browser. You must be connected to the same network as 3DM. The default URL is http://localhost:1080/. If multiple drives are faulted in a RAID 10 configuration, you must rebuild the drives sequentially by port number starting with the lowest port number.

  1. Navigate to the Configure Display.
  2. Click on the check box of the failed drive.
  3. Click button Remove Drive.
  4. Physically remove the failed drive and replace it with a new drive.
  5. Click on the check box of the new drive.
  6. Click button Add Drive.
  7. Click on the check boxes of the members of the array to be rebuilt. This should include the new drive added in step 4.
  8. Click button Rebuild Array.
The rebuild process will run in the background and an event notification will be sent when it is completed.
