Rebuilding a mirrored or RAID 5 array with no hot spare
1 Reboot the system and enter the Disk Array Configuration
Utility.
2 If your mirrored or RAID 5 array has a Not in Use member
drive, the drive may still be usable. Try rebuilding with the Not
in Use drive intact. Simply select the array and then the Rebuild
button.
3 Confirm that you selected the correct array by hitting OK in the
Rebuild confirmation display.
4 Select F8 to exit the Disk Array Configuration Utility. The
array will begin rebuilding after completion of the operating sys-
tem load.
5 If the rebuild fails and you have no Available Drives, you must
replace the drive and restart the rebuild process with the new
drive. If the rebuild process fails and you have Available
Drives, reboot the system and enter the Disk Array Configura-
tion Utility.
6 Select an available drive to replace the faulted drive in the array
by navigating the cursor over the available drive and hitting
Enter (see Figure 18). An asterisk in the left most column indi-
cates the drive is selected.
