Creating a RAID-10 disk group on hardware FortiPAM

By default, FortiPAM 1000G and 3000G are configured in RAID-10.

You can recreate RAID-10 using the CLI.

Since all the data on the disks are wiped off. You must perform a backup before using this CLI command.

Use the following CLI command to create a RAID-10 disk group:

execute raid create-and-format

This operation will create RAID disk and format it to ext4 file system.

All existing data will be lost!

Do you want to continue? (y/n)

Hot swapping failed disks on FortiPAM 1000G/3000G

The following procedure was drawn from a simulated case of a failed disk. The procedure that applies to your use case may be different.

1. Unplug the disk.
2. Run the diagnose system raid status CLI command.

   The disk status turns Unavailable.

3. Plug the disk back.

   The disk status turns Failed.

4. Run the execute raid delete \[disk-index\] CLI command.

   After a while, the disk status turns Unused.

5. Unplug the disk.
6. After a while, plug the disk again.
7. The disk status turns Rebuilding.
8. Keep FortiPAM 1000G/3000G running.

After 10 hours, the disk status turns OK.

RAID is recovered.
