Fixing Disk Order when you have 2 Parity discs

[_Lex_]

 

Hey All,

 

As you can see I am missing Disk 3 above and would like to shift everything up from Disk 4 up one.

 

Can anyone tell me a method I can do this ?

 

It is okay if I have to rebuild one of the parity drives but as long as I don't have to rebuild both.

 

Thanks!

Changing the drives to different slots invalidates parity2, but parity1 is unaffected.

 

You could do what you want by:

• use the New Config tool using the option to keep current assignments
• go to the Main tab and unassigned parity2 and put the data drives into the slots you want
• check the option to say parity is valid
• start the array to commit the revised assignments.   Since you ticked the parity is valid checkbox the drives should all mount fine and parity1 is NOT rebuilt
• stop the array
• assign parity2 
• start the array to start the build of the parity2 contents.

Thanks!

 

I did exactly that and it seems everything is okay so far. Now my array looks pretty
