RAID configuration

The Arkeia Appliance hard disks are used in one or several RAID arrays. Their status can be read here. The status array can be OK or degraded.

If an array is degraded, it means a hard disk is missing; the array and the Arkeia Appliance continue to work properly, but data redundancy is no longer active. The hard disk should be replaced as soon as possible. If the hard disk has failed, please contact Arkeia Technical Support.

To add a hard disk to an array, it must first be physically inserted in the corresponding slot. Then, you can click on Add to make the Arkeia Appliance safely add the hard disk to its RAID configuration.

Clicking on Remove, removes the hard disk from the RAID configuration. It can then be safely withdrawn from the Arkeia Appliance.

If a button Create Array is displayed, you can purchase an option to add more hard disks. Click on this button only when the new hard disks have been inserted in the empty slots, and you have a suitable VTL license.
