New RAID Tools v3.0
BQ-5102R-RAID-Tools-3.0.pkg md5: 106c2592253440e8704ecd0c9e76e0ce

Your new server uses RAID-1 (mirroring). It provides for a level of redundancy should one of your new drives fail!
RAID Tools integrates into Active Monitor so you will get notices about RAID status! It also includes the needed tools to rebuild raid without intervention! Simply replace your old drive, and reboot! It will rebuild automatically! You may need to put working drive on primary channel should your server not boot back up! Should you wish to test RAID before you put your box into production, this is how you would do it

RAID must already be setup and working before this package is installed!

How can I test RAID?

* This example assumes "sdb" is your 2nd drive. If it isn't, use "hdc".

• First tell RAID your drives are faulty /sbin/raidsetfaulty /dev/md0 /dev/sdb1 /sbin/raidsetfaulty /dev/md1 /dev/sdb2 /sbin/raidsetfaulty /dev/md2 /dev/sdb6 /sbin/raidsetfaulty /dev/md3 /dev/sdb3 /sbin/raidsetfaulty /dev/md4 /dev/sdb7 /sbin/raidsetfaulty /dev/md5 /dev/sdb5
  
  
• Now tell RAID to remove it /sbin/raidhotremove /dev/md0 /dev/sdb1 /sbin/raidhotremove /dev/md1 /dev/sdb2 /sbin/raidhotremove /dev/md2 /dev/sdb6 /sbin/raidhotremove /dev/md3 /dev/sdb3 /sbin/raidhotremove /dev/md4 /dev/sdb7 /sbin/raidhotremove /dev/md5 /dev/sdb5
  
  
• You can check the status of RAID by doing; cat /proc/mdstat
  
  It should show you:
  Personalities : [raid1] md1 : active raid1 sda2[0] 4192896 blocks [2/1] [U_] md3 : active raid1 sda3[0] 2096384 blocks [2/1] [U_] md5 : active raid1 sda5[0] 1052160 blocks [2/1] [U_] md2 : active raid1 sda6[0] 1052160 blocks [2/1] [U_] md4 : active raid1 sda7[0] 12466304 blocks [2/1] [U_] md0 : active raid1 sda1[0] 104320 blocks [2/1] [U_] unused devices: <none>
  * Please note, your blocks may be different then shown here.
  
  
• Now, you can reboot. Your RAID should rebuild itself!!. Or do it manually; /etc/rc.d/init.d/mdchk
  
  It should output the following:
