October 28, 20241 yr Hi I am trying to swap a failing drive so I fooled the procedure: I stopped the array Unassigned the old drive by setting it to 'No Device' Powered down Installed the new drive Powered on Assigned the new drive in the slot of the old drive Went to the Main → Array Operation section But there is no 'Yes, I'm sure' checkbox. Just a message saying "Invalid configuration". Did I miss something somewhere? Edited October 28, 20241 yr by Exsol Typo
October 28, 20241 yr Community Expert Bottom of main tab is a little checkbox and button to format the drives listed to what you want.
October 28, 20241 yr Author Hello again Veah. That image that I uploaded is the bottom of the Main tab. Only check box is a 'Reboot in safe mode' box.
October 28, 20241 yr Community Expert Ah. Apologies. Start the array at that point Edit: Unassigned drive there and start it. Should fire up with emulated data. Then stop it and assign the new drive. Edited October 28, 20241 yr by Veah
October 28, 20241 yr Community Expert Sorry tried to edit. My connection seems bad enough that it's hard to forum
October 28, 20241 yr Community Expert Solution Looking again at pic, You got no parity... Is there data on drive 2? If not, just do a new config.
October 28, 20241 yr Author You are correct. I am swapping things around in order to add a couple of bigger drives. It is a new server so I am not worried about parity protection just yet. Doing a new config. Once again, Veah, thanks for your help.
