FastTrak TX4000 User Manual 

 

 

28 

For automatic rebuilds of a mirrored array, attach a spare drive to the FastTrak 
TX4000. Drives that are not assigned to an array and are the same size or 
larger than the original will be used for the automatic rebuild. This is performed 
in the background under all supported operating systems, except DOS. At a 
later time, the system can be turned off and the failed drive can be physically 
removed. 

During startup, the disk arrays on the FastTrak TX4000 are recognized in this 
order:  

1. 

The array set to bootable in the FastBuild Setup.  

2. 

The Array number (i.e. Array 0, Array 1…).  This would be involved in 
determining which drive letters will be assigned to each disk array. 

All disk array data is saved into the reserved sector on each array member. 
Promise suggests that users record their disk array information for future 
reference. 

Another feature of the FastTrak TX4000 disk array system is to recognize drive 
members even if drives are moved between different FastTrak TX4000 card 
connectors. Since each drive’s array data identifies itself to the array, it is 
possible to move or swap drives without modifying the array setup. This is 
valuable when adding drives, or during a rebuild.
