103


Set the RAID level for each magazine when formatting it so that the unit can perform write/read to the magazine based on the RAID level.≥ You can specify the RAID level to format magazine on the unit or application.

To specify the RAID level with the unit, select “Config”/“Configure” “Set RAID Level” on the control panel or the Web interface. ( 56, 94)For the settings of the RAID level from the application, refer to the user manual for the application.` Even if the RAID level is specified in the unit, the RAID level settings in the application take precedence.` If a RAID level has been specified through an application, the RAID level cannot be specified on the unit.

≥ To verify the RAID level settings, select “Monitor” “Drive” “RAID / Encrypt” or “Monitor” “Drive” “RAID Level” on the control panel or the Web interface. ( 40, 76)

≥ When changing the application, the RAID level for formatting the magazine should be reset so that the RAID level can be specified on the unit. Select “Configure” “Set RAID Level” “Reset RAID Setting” on the Web interface to execute. ( 94)

How to set/cancel RAID level

Note≥ Do not execute “Reset RAID Setting” except when it is required. If it is executed when it is not needed, the

RAID level that has been set by the application and the RAID level of magazine may not be the same depending on the application.

≥ Decrease of Redundancy` When the write or read performance is poor due to failure, i.e. the redundancy is decreased, prompt solution

of problems is recommended.` When you perform writing with the RAID 5 and the number of drive failure is 1, or RAID 6 and the number of

drive failure is 1 or 2, the magazine is written in the lower redundancy status. Although you have resolved the problem, the written part of magazine is still lower redundancy. We recommend that you copy the contents of magazine to another magazine after resolving the problem.

104


S.M.A.R.T. informationThe unit provides a function that diagnoses the lifetime based on the amount of use of built-in units or the characteristic values.The unit diagnoses the built-in fan in the system, controller storage device, changer unit, drive system, and magazines, then generates a warning if these are approaching the end of lifetime.≥ To check the status, select “Monitor” “S.M.A.R.T.” on the control panel or the Web interface. ( 51, 84)≥ It is recommended to replace the unit or magazine for which the lifetime is almost at an end as soon as possible.≥ S.M.A.R.T. information is not perfect and the accuracy is not guaranteed. Even though S.M.A.R.T. diagnosed a

unit or magazine as normal, suddenly it may fail.
