Rebuild RAID disk

Rebuild RAID disk

If you need to rebuild the data disk and configure FortiNDR-3500F from scratch, follow this procedure.

To rebuild the RAID disk:
  1. Plug the monitor and keyboard directly into FortiNDR.

  2. Boot FortiNDR and keep pressing Ctrl R when FortiNDR is booting.

  3. Delete virtual disk 0.

  4. Create a virtual disk at RAID Level 1.

  5. Fast init the new virtual disk.

  6. When the initialization is finished, reboot FortiNDR.
  7. During reboot, press any key to enter bootloader.

    Ensure the keyboard is not plugged directly into FortiNDR as that might prevent you from entering into the bootloader menu.

  8. Plug the monitor and keyboard back into the machine with the COM1 connection.
  9. Enter F to format the boot drive.
  10. Enter G to get the firmware image from the TFTP server.

    Getting firmware from TFTP server requires connecting to the TFTP server using port4 (1G port).

  11. When booting is complete, use the command execute factoryreset or execute partitiondisk to make partitions.
  12. Copy the ANN database to FortiNDR since rebuilding RAID deletes the ANN database.
