NSE 5 – FortiAnalyzer 6.4 — Question 1

If a hard disk on FortiAnalyzer that supports hardware RAID fails, what can be done on FortiAnalyzer?

Answer options

• A. Shut down FortiAnalyzer and replace the disk.
• B. Run execute format disk to format and restart the FortiAnalyzer device.
• C. No need to do anything because the disk will self-recover.
• D. Hot swap the disk

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is D, as hot swapping allows the failed disk to be replaced without powering down the FortiAnalyzer, ensuring minimal downtime. Option A is incorrect because shutting down the device is not necessary for RAID configurations that support hot swapping. Option B is wrong as executing format disk would erase data and is not a recovery method. Option C is also incorrect since RAID typically requires intervention when a disk fails.
