Re: Checking Mirrored Drives
just run consistency check, it will assure you all data are redundant and raid consistant.
to start it, install netraid assistant on your nt or w2k system, or run it booting from cd-navigator, or start it from express tools in the bios of the netraid card.

Re: Checking Mirrored Drives
there is no way to see the space used in a raid on each hdd, because you cannot acces to the hdd, only the netraid controller is responsible for managing the hdd.
the dimonstration is in the teory of the raid itself, give to customer a manual which explain the raids levels and how it works.
here is some info

Re: Checking Mirrored Drives
You can do a "demonstration".
Let your client pick on of the 2 drives in netraid assistant and let if 'fail'. You'll see that the server keeps running just fine and data is still accessible.
Then rebuild it and if he's still not convinced, let the other disk fail and rebuild it (off course after the first rebuild has successfully finished).
If that doesn't convince him...
Marco.

Re: Checking Mirrored Drives
If you're running NT or W2K then you can fail a drive from within Netraid Assistant:
Right click on the physical drive, Select Tools, Select Fail drive.
You might need to do a re-scan by clicking on the light-house symbol if the status doesn't change in fail after a few seconds.
Remember to silence the alarm, the beep will drive you crazy.
It's good practice to have it enabled before failing the drive, it will show your customer that he will be noticed in case a drive failes.
You can rebuild the disk by right-clicking on it and select rebuild.
You'll see a progress indicator of the rebuild.
When the rebuild is finished (the physical drive has an on-line status) you can do the same for the other disk.
Good luck!
Marco.
