need advice on folks with experience with Dell 2950-III
Servers dual quad-core processors with 4GB RAM as a
Checkpoint NGx R65 enforcement modules. this question
has to do with mirror RAID-1 of the hard drive.
The server comes with two 80GB hard drive. I configure
it for mirror RAID-1. After that I configure Checkpoint
NGx R65 with HFA_02 on it. The enforcement module is
managed by a CMA inside a Provider-1. Everything is
working fine.
Now to stimulate a hard drive failure, I remove one of
the hard drive, called hard drive #1 from the Dell server.
At this point, the firewall continues to work fine.
I then insert a brand new hard drive, called hard
drive X, into the slot of hard drive #1. At this point,
I would expect hard drive X to be mirror by hard drive
#2. It's 4pm in the afternoon so I went home. I would
expect the mirror to be done by 8am the following morning.
Next day, when I came in, I would expect the mirror is
done by now. To simulate a failure, I remove hard drive
#2 from the Dell server, expecting that the dell server
should still be working. However, the minute I remove
the hard drive #2, the firewall stopped working.
Anyone working with Dell Server 2950-III know how
the RAID-1 mirror works. Apparently, it did not work
the way I expected it to work.
Thanks in advance.
