A technician is servicing a production workstation configured with a hardware RAID 1 array. The RAID controller management console displays a status of 'Degraded' due to a disk failure in drive slot 1. The workstation uses hot-swappable drive bays. In what order should the technician perform the following steps to replace the faulty drive and restore array redundancy?
- 1Verify that a recent system backup exists and confirm the failed physical disk ID in the RAID management software.
- 2Unlock and pull the drive bay release latch to disengage and remove the failed drive from slot 1.
- 3Insert a new replacement disk of matching or greater capacity into slot 1 and lock the lever handle.
- 4Initiate the array rebuild process in the RAID management interface and monitor until the array status returns to Optimal.
Cevap
The proper sequence begins by verifying system backups and confirming the target drive ID, removing the failed hot-swappable disk from slot 1, inserting a compatible replacement drive, and finally initiating and monitoring the RAID array rebuild in the controller management software.
The correct procedural order ensures data safety and system integrity. First, verifying a current backup and confirming the target drive identifier prevents accidental removal of a healthy drive. Second, removing the faulty hot-swappable disk clears slot 1. Third, installing a new drive with equal or greater capacity provides the hardware base for rebuilding. Finally, triggering or confirming the automatic rebuild process synchronizes the mirrored data to restore full RAID 1 fault tolerance.
