4.2.1 Downing a Drive
The xStack Storage Management Center provides a Down Drive feature that lets you
remove a drive from the system in an orderly way. Using this feature, you can, for
example, replace a smaller drive with a larger drive.
The Down Drive operation requires all space used on the selected drive to be relocated
onto different drives. The Down Drive feature handles this requirement by performing a
reconfigure task on every volume that uses space on the drive. This operation is
conducted for any type of volume, including redundant and non-redundant
organizations.
To down a drive:
1. In the Physical Storage View, select a drive in the Main Display.
2. Perform one of the following steps:
On the Storage menu, click Down Drive.
Click Down Drive in the Drive Actions panel.
Press the right mouse button and click Down Drive on the shortcut menu.
Any of these steps displays the message inFigure 4-2.

3. Click OK in the box to remove the message.
If you down a drive, you can use the Schedule tab in the System
Administration View to view, suspend, or delete this action (see section
5.2.2).
