My original post: ************ In article t, Spacey Spade wrote... When a drive fails in RAID(1), I would like the RAID to stop functioning so that users will not continue to operate on the remaining mirror drive. This with a couple of small businesses not really requiring a hot spare. I cannot find details anywhere describing exactly what happens when a disk fails. I wouldn't want them to keep going on one drive because someone overlooked a BIOS warning that lasted a few seconds (or whatever it is that happens). I'm going to call the manufacturers, but I'd like to also know if all manufacturers follow a pattern or standard of behaviour. case 1: A7N8X 2.0 DELUXE mobo inbuilt Silicon Image 3112a SATA controller case 2: HighPoint RocketRAID 100 PCI card TIA, Spacey Both controllers have RAID management/notification software that runs in windows. So far, neither works. The SATALink or SATARaid utility for ASUS mobo does not detect the mirrored array or drives, even though they work just fine in windows. ASUS tech support has been useless. Perhaps the utility expects windows to be installed on the drives themselves (who knows), and the mirrored drives are for data only. As for the RocketRAID management software, it does detect the drives, but the email notification doesn't seem to work with smtp.earthlink.net. It definitely would not work with smtpauth.earthlink.net, because its client is not capable of authentication. Unlike the SATALink utility, it does not sound off a wav file since the option doesn't exist (even though the website mentions "audible alarm"). Haven't heard back from HighPoint yet. I'll keep this thread updated on future resolutions if someone is curious enough to post a reply. Spacey |
