NSE 5 – FortiAnalyzer 6.2 — Question 1

You are using RAID with a FortiAnalyzer that supports software RAID, and one of the hard disks on FortiAnalyzer has failed.
What is the recommended method to replace the disk?

Answer options

• A. Shut down FortiAnalyzer and then replace the disk
• B. Downgrade your RAID level, replace the disk, and then upgrade your RAID level
• C. Clear all RAID alarms and replace the disk while FortiAnalyzer is still running
• D. Perform a hot swap

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct method is to shut down FortiAnalyzer and then replace the disk because this ensures the system is safely powered down, preventing any further damage or data loss. The other options could lead to complications; for example, hot swapping may not be supported in this scenario, and changing RAID levels unnecessarily complicates the process.
