D5-300 Raid Manager Linux support
Posted: 30 Jul 2023, 16:02
Hello,
I recently bought a D5-300 unit. I initially set it up on MacOS with 5x16TB HDDs in RAID5 mode using the provided Raid Manager for MacOS. However, now it's attached to a linux server without any other OS installed on it. It's working flawlessly so far, but I am concerned that in case of a drive failure I will need to use the Raid Manager again to initiate the rebuild process.
Is there ANY way to control the TDAS unit on Linux? I've tried to use the Windows RAID Manager through Wine. It starts, but it doesn't detect the USB unit. I am comfortable with cli too (prefer it actually), so if there's any (un)official cli tool, it will be enough for me.
Another question, do I actually need the Raid Manager to start the rebuild process once I replace a failed drive?
Thanks!
