Once you created your new array and logical drive, proceed in copying the data from your backup. Once the Pegasus unit has booted, proceed in configuring a new array and logical drive.ħ. After the unit has been shutdown, proceed in installing the new physical drives.Ħ. You can also open a Terminal session (OS X):Ĥ. You can shut down the Pegasus unit by accessing the Pegasus Utility or accessing the CLI (OS X).
The issue was resolved by forcing the drives back online.

I then started to do a bit more research and come to find out that others have experienced the logical drive of the Promise RAID going offline after abruptly losing power. After the data has been successfully copied to the destination volume, unmount the volume and shutdown the unit.ģ. After the unit rebooted the drives were still showing offline. Execute a backup of the data from the Pegasus volume to another destination volume.Ģ. Promise recommends to execute the following when upgrading the physical drive capacity on a Pegasus R(x)/Pegasus2 R(x)ġ. Therefore, you will not see an increase in the logical drive’s size after you’ve successfully rebuilt the previous drive’s sequence to the new drive. If you replace a drive that has a larger space capacity, the drive will reduce its capacity to the smallest drive in the array.įor example, if you have a Pegasus2 R4 with 4 X 2TB drives and replace only one slot with a 4TB drive, the drive will actually allocate and equate to 2TB as the other three slots are configured with 2TB drives in the array. If you’re inquiring about upgrading the storage capacity for an array, you should purchase and replace each drive with the same capacity per each physical drive slot. In addition, Promise recommends that the drives that will be utilized have been cross-referenced with our Pegasus Compatibility List found on our Promise Support Site. Now click on ‘Rebuild’ and it will rebuild the failed disk from the other disks.
Click on the drive and change from ‘Pass Thru’ to ‘Unconfigured’. The storage capacity can be increased by purchasing higher capacity physical drives. Remove the failed disk and put in a new formatted disk.
