Hi I´m setting up a PowerEdge 1650 server with PERC 3/Di Raid controller , with RedHat8.0 I have 2 disks mirrored ( OS disks ) and then I have a third disk. This disk servers as a backup disk of a sort for some xrecordings Now the problem is that sometimes I have to remove this disk and replace it with another disk with some older xrecordings ( older ). Question is : how to do that without having to restart the server ? I´ve tried : unmount the disk in linux then in afacli open afa0 enclosure prepare slot 0 2 (switch the disks ) enclosure activate slot 0 2 then tried to mount the disk again but got message device not a block device Am I missing some commands here ? Sorry but I don´t know where to ask this question so I´m trying here ( if this is not the right place for these sort of questions could you tell where I can get help ) plz reply this email address Regards Arnar Thorarinsson Software Programmer Systems Department, Air Traffic Services Phone : +354 569 4289 --------------------------------- Icelandic Civil Aviation Administration Reykjvik Airport IS 121 Reykjavík Iceland <http://www.caa.is/> http://www.caa.is ---------------------------------
