| Why can I not add a replacement drive for Avid Interplay's Infortrend as a Global Spare? |
(It could also be due to the drive not being recognized by the chassis. If this is the case take a look at the article "
Infortrend array not recognizing a new spare drive")To clear the new drive of it's Logical Drive ID perform the following steps:
Inside the Infortrend's Web GUI...
1. Go to "Logical Drive>Set/Delete Logical Drive."
2. Select the drive in highlighted in blue that does not belong to the active Logical Drive in the Infortrend.
3. Select "Delete." (THIS WILL DELETE THE DATA ON THE DRIVE) *
4. Select "OK" to the message asking if you are sure you want to delete the drive.
5. The drive should return to a non-highlighted state.
6. Proceed with adding the drive as a Global Spare.
* If you get the error "The status of LD is shutdown now ! Cannot Delete Logical Drive (Logical Drive ID) !" see article "How to restart an Interplay Infotrend drive that is Shutdown"
