RAID
Most FortiGate devices with multiple disk drives (SSD or HHD) can be configured to use RAID.
|
Enabling or disabling RAID, and changing the RAID level, erases all data on the log disk and reboots the device. |
To verify that the FortiGate has multiple disks:
-
List disk devices and partitions:
# execute disk list Disk SSD1 ref: 255 223.6GiB type: SSD [ATA INTEL SSDSC2KB24] dev: /dev/sda partition ref: 1 220.1GiB, 219.0GiB free mounted: Y label: LOGUSEDXA707476A dev: /dev/sda1 start: 2048 Disk SSD2 ref: 16 223.6GiB type: SSD [ATA INTEL SSDSC2KB24] dev: /dev/sdb partition ref: 17 62.7GiB, 62.4GiB free mounted: Y label: WANOPTXX1FEBBFA1 dev: /dev/sdb1 start: 2048 partition ref: 18 63.7GiB, 63.7GiB free mounted: N label: dev: /dev/sdb2 start: 133625856 partition ref: 19 85.0GiB, 85.0GiB free mounted: N label: dev: /dev/sdb3 start: 267249664

To check the RAID status:
-
RAID enabled:
# execute disk raid status RAID Level: Raid-1 RAID Status: OK (Background-Synchronizing) (9%) RAID Size: 239GB Disk 1: OK Used 228GB Disk 2: OK Used 228GB
-
RAID disabled:
# execute disk raid status RAID Level: Unavailable RAID Status: Unavailable RAID Size: 0GB Disk 1: OK Not-Used 228GB Disk 2: OK Not-Used 228GB
To enable RAID:
# execute disk raid enable This will erase all data on the log disk, and system will reboot! Do you want to continue? (y/n)y Dependent storage SSD2 removed. Dependent storage SSD1 removed. Raid-0 created with 2 disks. Performing raid on the requested disk(s) and rebooting, please wait.. . Configuring raid... - unmounting /data2 : ok - unmounting /var/log : ok - unmounting /usb : ok - unmounting /var/storage/SSD2-WANOPTXX0EA0EF17 : ok Formatting the disk... - unmounting /usb : ok Formatting /dev/md0 ... done The system is going down NOW !! Please stand by while rebooting the system. Restarting system.
To rebuild the RAID:
# execute disk raid rebuild
To rebuild the RAID to another level:
-
Check the supported RAID levels:
# execute disk raid rebuild-level <RAID level> supported: Raid-0, Raid-1
-
Rebuild the RAID to the required level:
# execute disk raid rebuild-level Raid-1 This will erase all data on the log disk, and system will reboot! Do you want to continue? (y/n)y Dependent storage RAID removed. Raid-1 created with 2 disks. Performing raid on the requested disk(s) and rebooting, please wait...

Please stand by while rebooting the system. Restarting system.
To disable RAID:
# execute disk raid disable This will erase all data on the log disk, and system will reboot! Do you want to continue? (y/n)y Dependent storage RAID removed.
