Maintaining the Compute Servers

You do not need to shut down a compute server in Recovery Appliance to repair the physical disks. No downtime of the rack is required; however, individual servers might require downtime, and you might need to take them out of the cluster temporarily.

An LSI MegaRAID SAS 9261-8i disk controller manages the disk drives in each compute server. The disks have a RAID-5 configuration. Each compute server has four disk drives. One virtual drive comprises the RAID set.
