Q. How can I wipe all the data from my drives and reset my Drobo?
A. WARNING: THIS PROCEDURE WILL CLEAR ALL THE DATA STORED ON
DROBO. There are two ways to reset your Drobo. First, in Advance
Controls > Tools tab, click the "Reset..." button. The on-screen
instructions will walk you through the process.
The second way is to first shut down the Drobo. Next, locate the
small unmarked reset hole. You will find it next to the power
connector. Insert a straightened paper clip through the unmarked
hole. You should be able to feel a switch depress. While still
depressing the switch, power on the Drobo and hold the switch
depressed until the power indicator starts blinking green. This will
take approximately 30 seconds.
Q. Do I need to format new drives that I add to Drobo?
A. When you add a drive to an empty Drive Bay or upsize an existing
drive after the initial formatting, you will get immediate access to
any additional capacity. You will not have to format each drive added
to Drobo. After the initial format, you will not need to format added
drives until an additional pool of storage is created. Drobo will walk
you through that process when the time comes.
Q. What happens if I initially formatted my Drobo as a 2TB volume and
then add more than 2TB of protected capacity?
A. If you format Drobo for a certain volume size (i.e. 2TB volume during
initial format) and then add more storage capacity than can be
contained in that volume (for example, you add one or more 1.5TB
drives), Drobo Dashboard will prompt you to create a second volume
for that new space.
If you want to maintain the data all on a single volume rather than
two volumes, you'll need to migrate the data onto another Drobo or
storage device, reformat the original Drobo to the volume size of
your choice and then migrate the data back to the clean volume.
Note: Windows XP has a limitation of 2TB as the maximum volume size. In
this case, you will have to create a new volume for any additional storage
added beyond the 2TB volume size.
