Replacing all RAID disks
If you want to replace both of the pre-installed hard drives with your own on FortiRecorder 400B and build the RAID array from scratch, follow these instructions.
Because the HTTPs certificates are stored on the hard drive, if you still need them, you must back up the configuration first. The certificates will be backed up in the configuration file. After you install the new hard drives, restore the configuration. But if you're not using the factory certificates and you're planning to import your own certificate later on, you don't have to back up the configuration/certificates.
To replace all disks in the array
1. Shut down the FortiRecorder unit.
2. Remove the hard disks.
3. Install the new hard disks.
4. Boot up the system.
5. Enter the following CLI command to rebuild the disks.
execute factoryreset disk
This command will use the default RAID level based on the number of drives used. You can also use the following command to rebuild the disks with the specified RAID level. For the supported RAID levels, see
“Configuring RAID levels” on page 81.
execute raidlevel <level>
6. The system will reboot.
