9.1.2 Clearing Metadata from a Disk Drive
All of the member disk drives in an array contain metadata in the first
sectors. The EF2800 uses the metadata to identify array members after
restarting or replacing SMs.
You can clear the metadata if you have a disk drive that was previously
a member of an array. Disk drives in this state display Leftover in the
Display All Devices page and in the Clear Metadata page. After you
clear the metadata, you can use the disk drive in an array or as a spare.
To clear metadata from a disk drive:
1. From SAM, select Manage EF2800 > Utilities > Disk Drive Utilities >
Clear Metadata. The Clear Metadata page displays listing all
available and leftover disk drives.
2. Select the disk drive whose metadata you want to clear.
3. Click Clear Metadata from Selected Device.
You can now use this disk drive in an array or as a spare.
9.1.3 Enabling and Disabling Write-back Cache
You can control the write-back cache setting for all of your disk drives
at once. Changes take effect after the next rescan or restart.
This can be set to Enable, Disable, or Don’t Modify (which means the
EF2800 should not change any disk drive’s write-back cache settings).
The default setting is Disabled.
Typically, if your disk drives are part of an array, you do not want to
turn on their write-back cache. The EF2800 is already using write-back
cache to improve performance. Turning on write-back cache on the
disk drive
may improve performance in some cases, depending on the
type of array and how you are using it.
Any disk drives with write-back cache enabled should be connected to
an Uninterruptible power supply (UPS) in case of power failure. If the
disk drives are not on a UPS and power is lost during disk writes, the
array will lose any data in the disk drive’s write-back cache.
