This task combines two arrays that consists of one or more RAID 0 logical drives into one array consisting of RAID 1+0 logical drives. This task is usually performed after a Split Mirrored Array operation.
- This task is only available for specific array controllers. Check array controller documentation for details.
- This task will only be available when the ACU is running from an offline CD boot environment. This task will not be available when running ACU from the operating system.
- Two arrays can only be re-mirrored if they only have RAID 0 logical drives with the same configurations.
- Shutdown the server.
- Insert the drives that contain the other half of the split array.
- Insert the CD that contains ACU into the CD-ROM drive and boot.
- Open ACU, and stay in Standard configuration mode (the default).
- Select the controller that contains the array that you want to be re-mirrored.
- In the Configuration View panel, select one of the arrays that you want to use as one half of the recombined mirrored array.
- In the Select a Task panel, click Re-Mirror Array.
- Select the array that is to be mirrored with the selected array. (This is usually the array that was originally split out of the original mirrored array. However, it
can be another array if the configurations match.)
- Select the source logical drives that you want to keep for data in the new mirror.
- Click OK.
- Click on Save to save the configuration.
- When ACU has finished recombining the split array, restart the server.
