Rebuilding a Media Drive

New replacement drives will begin rebuilding automatically as soon as the drive is inserted into a running K2 Central-Tx Server. The front red LED will be on and the blue LED will flash as the drive rebuilds. The red LED will turn off when the rebuild is complete. Rebuilding must be manually started if the same drive is replaced into the same slot. The following steps are needed to begin the manual rebuild process.

  1. Start StorageUtility and locate the replaced drive, following the instructions under Removing a Media Drive.
  2. If StorageUtility was running when the new drive was inserted refresh the list displayed. Refresh the list by selecting View from the top menu and then Refresh.

  3. Verify the firmware version on the new drive is the same as the others. This is shown by the disk properties when the disk is selected. The firmware version of all drives in the K2 Central-Tx Storage must be the same. Right click on the disk icon and select the option to Load Disk Firmware if it needs to change.

  4. To begin the rebuild right click on the disk icon and select Rebuild. Dialogs show the progress as the disk rebuild starts. The disk State under the disk properties shows the disk is Rebuilding. The red LED on the disk carrier stays on and the blue LED flashes.

  5. Disk rebuild can take a few hours for this size of disk on an idle system up to multiple days if the system is fully active. When completed Storage Utility shows the disk icon without an X and the State is Online. The red LED on the disk carrier is off and the blue LED is on and blinks showing disk activity. Storage Utility does not have to be running during the disk rebuild process.

Use the packaging to return the old media drive and carrier to the designated return depot.
