software-raid

This command allows you to add and delete software RAID disks for FortiAnalyzer hardware platforms with hybrid storage systems

This command is only available on applicable FortiAnalyzer hardware platforms that support RAID with hybrid storage systems.

Syntax

execute software-raid add-disk [<disk ID>]

execute software-raid delete-disk [<disk ID>]

Variable

Description

add-disk [<disk ID>]

Add a disk to Software RAID. Enter the disk ID of the software RAID SSD to add to the array.

If you do not enter a disk ID, a list of disks that are not part of the software RAID array is listed.

delete-disk [<disk ID>]

Delete a disk from Software RAID. Enter the disk ID of the software RAID SSD to remove from the array.

If you do not enter a disk ID, a list of disks that may be safely removed without breaking the RAID array will be listed. This list only includes disks that are allowed to be deleted from the array.

Caution

The SSD disks are not hot swappable. Once you have identified the faulty drive:

  1. Delete the faulty disk from the array (execute software-raid delete-disk [<disk ID>]).

  2. Replace the faulty drive.

  3. Reboot the FortiAnalyzer unit.

  4. Add the disk (execute software-raid add-disk [<disk ID>]).

Example:

When checking available disks to delete, the list only includes disks that are allowed to be deleted from the array.
