• The model number, serial number, and size of each hard disk.
• The current status of each disk:
o RAID – The disk is working properly as part of the specified RAID level.
o New – The disk has been added to the storage system but is not part of a RAID.
o Spare – The disk is acting as a spare disk for the RAID.
o Rebuilding – The disk is being rebuilt (for example, when a failed disk is replaced)
• N/A – The disk is detected but not available for use (for example, when it has failed)
• The hotplug indicator:
o RED – Removing the disk will cause the RAID to fail.
o YELLOW – Removing the disk will cause RAID degradation.

Note: Whenever a disk is added or removed from the storage system, you
must click “Refresh” to update this page.
You can change the disk configuration or percentage of the storage space that is allocated for
shared folders at any time. However, for additional security, you must enter your administrator
password to be able to make these changes.
Warning: Changing the disk configuration or percentage to allocate for shared
folders will delete all user information and all data on all the disks. Before you
change these settings, have all the users disconnect from all shared folders
and remove protection from all disks. When you are done, you must re-add all
users, create new shared folders, and have all users once again access the
shared folders and protect their disks.
To change the disk configuration or storage space allocation:
1. In the Administrator password text box, enter your password for logging in to the Manager.
2. Click “Reconfigure Disks”.
3. When the confirmation message appears, click “OK”.
4. The Disk Configuration page (Figure 3-24) appears. (The options that appear on this page
vary, depending on the number of hard disks that are currently installed in the system.)
