Adding a Drive

You can add a drive to your 3ware Sidecar and make it available through

3DM without powering down the system.

To add a drive

1 Insert the drive in your 3ware Sidecar. (For details, see 3ware Sidecar Kit

with the 9590SE-ME: Installation Guide.)

2 In 3DM, choose

Management > Maintenance.

3 On the Maintenance page, click

Rescan Controller.

The drive will appear in the list of available drives. You can now use it in

a new RAID configuration, or as a replacement drive in the event that

another drive degrades.

If you want to use this drive as a spare, see “Creating a Hot Spare” on

page 42.

Removing a Drive

If you want to physically remove a drive from your 3ware Sidecar without

powering it down, you must first remove it through the 3ware software.

This is useful if you know that a drive is developing a problem and you want

to replace it, or to replace a drive which has already failed.

To remove a drive

1 In 3DM, choose

Management > Maintenance.

On the Maintenance page,

Remove Drive links appear next to all drives

that can be removed from units, and next to drives in the Available Drives

list.

2 Locate the drive you want to remove and click the

Remove Drive link

(Figure 25).

Notes:

If you want to remove a unit from your system and reassemble it in another system,

do not follow these steps. Instead, turn to “Removing a Unit” on page 56.

If you physically remove a drive on a 9590SE controller without first removing it in

3DM, it will be listed as removed, however it will not be completely removed unless

you Rescan the controller.
