A computer technician is tasked with replacing a failed hard drive in a degraded hot-swappable RAID 1 array. Which of the following sequence of steps should the technician perform to properly replace the failed drive and restore array redundancy?
- 1Identify the failed physical drive using the RAID management console or drive slot status LED.
- 2Remove the failed drive from the hot-swap bay and install the new replacement drive of equal or greater capacity.
- 3Initiate the RAID rebuild process within the controller utility or allow auto-rebuild to start.
- 4Verify that the RAID array status changes from degraded back to optimal once the rebuild finishes.
Cevap
The correct sequence begins with identifying the failed drive, followed by swapping the physical drive, starting the RAID rebuild operation, and finally verifying that the array status has returned to optimal.
The proper troubleshooting procedure for replacing a failed hot-swappable drive in a degraded RAID 1 array begins with identifying the failed drive using diagnostic software or LED indicators. Next, the technician replaces the disk in the bay. Then, the rebuild process is initiated (or allowed to run automatically) to resynchronize mirrored data. Finally, the technician verifies that the array status reports optimal health.
