NSE 5 – FortiAnalyzer 7.0 — Question 1

What is the best approach to handle a hard disk failure on a FortiAnalyzer that supports hardware RAID?

Answer options

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

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The best approach is to hot swap the disk, as this allows for immediate replacement without shutting down the FortiAnalyzer, minimizing downtime. The option stating that the disk will self-recover is incorrect because it does not address the physical failure. Shutting down the device to replace the disk is less efficient due to the downtime it causes, and formatting the disk is not applicable for replacing a failed disk.
