The SRC CLI provides commands to let you monitor disk status, replace faulty disks, and reinitialize disks in the system.
You can replace a failed disk or swap a working disk in a C Series Controller. Note the following limitations:
To replace or swap a disk:
![]() |
Note: Do not power down the C Series Controller when you are swapping a disk, because doing so might result in initialization errors. |
The command generates data on the disk that enables the disk controller to manage the disk. The disk controller copies data from the other disk and establishes mirroring between the two disks.
You can reinitialize a disk that is already active in a C Series Controller.
To reinitialize a disk:
The command generates data on the disk that enables the disk controller to manage the disk. The disk controller copies data from the other disk and establishes mirroring between the two disks.
