- For the VD number of RAID 0 group is the most biggest among the environment where there are
multiple VDs:
Select the particular VD and delete it.
Select the particular VD and delete it.
6. When the data has been erased, exit WebBIOS and power off the system.
7. Replace the HDD or SSD which S.M.A.R.T. predicted to fail.
8. Start the system.
In C880 M4 server (E7-8800 v3 CPU), start HII Configuration Utility from the Boot Manager front page.
In C880 M4 server (E7-8800 v2 CPU), start WebBIOS from the Boot Manager front page.
In C880 M4 server (E7-8800 v2 CPU), start WebBIOS from the Boot Manager front page.
9. Create an array configuration.
In C880 M4 server (E7-8800 v3 CPU), create an array configuration with HII Configuration Utility.
In C880 M4 server (E7-8800 v2 CPU), create an array configuration with WebBIOS.
In C880 M4 server (E7-8800 v2 CPU), create an array configuration with WebBIOS.
10. Restore backup data or reinstall the operating system.
3.2.2 Preventive replacement of failed HDD/SSD with RAID 1, RAID 1E,
RAID 5, RAID 6, or RAID 10 configuration
This section describes the workflow of preventive replacement of HDD or SSD with RAID 1, RAID 1E, RAID 5,
RAID 6, or RAID 10 configuration.
Remarks
From step1 to step6 are performed by the field engineer in charge of your system.
RAID 6, or RAID 10 configuration.
Remarks
From step1 to step6 are performed by the field engineer in charge of your system.
1. Make data consistent by MMB Maintenance Wizard to make the HDD or SSD no error.
2. Turn on Alarm LED of the HDD or SSD which S.M.A.R.T. predicted to fail by MMB Maintenance Wizard.
3. Confirm the location of the HDD or SSD, tuning off the Alarm LED by MMB Maintenance Wizard.
4. Make the target HDD or SSD offline by MMB Maintenance Wizard
5. Confirm that [Status] of the target HDD or SSD is
‘Failed’ or ‘Available’.
6. Replace the HDD or SSD of which you confirmed in step2 that Alarm LED turns on.
Note
When set a spare disk, set the HDD or SSD to the spare disk by using Maintenance Wizard if the status
of the replaced HDD or SSD is
When set a spare disk, set the HDD or SSD to the spare disk by using Maintenance Wizard if the status
of the replaced HDD or SSD is
‘Available’.
7. Confirm whether a rebuild of the HDD or SSD has been already completed by using the below steps
depending on whether a spare disk is set or not.
- If not set a spare disk
A rebuild is automatically performed to replaced HDD or SSD. Then, the Alarm LED of the HDD or
SSD starts blinking.
Confirm whether a rebuild of replaced HDD or SSD has been already completed by MMB Web-UI.
How to confirm the status differs depending on whether the HDD or SSD is included in a DU.

How to confirm the status differs depending on whether the HDD or SSD is included in a DU.
- For replacement of a HDD or SSD included in a DU
Confirm whether [Status] of replaced HDD or SSD has been already
‘Operational’ by [System] –

– [DUx] window of MMB Web-UI.
- If set a spare disk:
A rebuild has been already automatically performed to the HDD or SSD set as a spare disk. The
replaced HDD or SSD automatically becomes a spare disk. The Alarm LED of the HDD or SSD goes
out.
Confirm whether [Status] of replaced HDD or SSD has been already

out.
Confirm whether [Status] of replaced HDD or SSD has been already
‘Hot spare’ by MMB Web-UI. How
