Adaptec 31205 - RAID Controller User Manual Download Page 9

     RAID 0 retains the spare drive. 
      
   5.2 RAID 10 Notes 
 
   - You cannot change the priority of a RAID-10 verify. Setting 
     the priority at the start of a verify has no effect. The 
     priority is still shown as high. Changing the priority of 
     a running verify on a raid-10 changes the displayed priority 
     until a rescan is done, then the priority shows as high again. 
 
   - Performing a Verify and Verify/Fix on an RAID 10 displays the  
     same message text in the event log, "Build/Verify started on  
     second level pool of pool 'Pool_0.'" You may see the message  
     three times for a Verify, but only once for a Verify/Fix. 
 
   - During a migration from a RAID 0 to any redundant pool like  
     RAID 5 or 10, Adaptec Storage Manager shows the status as   
     "Degraded Reconfiguring" for a moment, then the status changes   
     to "Reconfiguring." The "Degraded" status does not appear in the  
     event log. 
      
   5.3 RAID x0 Notes 
 
   - After building or verifying a leg of a second-level pool, the  
     status of the second-level pool is displayed as a "Quick  
     Initialized" pool.

6. Other Issues and Notes 
 
   6.1  Internal RAID Storage Notes 
 
   - If you initialize one or more drives in a snapshot source pool,   
     the snapshot target cannot be deleted. To avoid creating a snapshot  
     drive that cannot be deleted, you must delete the snapshot drive  
     first, before you initialize the drives in the source pool.     
    
   - With Linux kernel versions 2.4 and 2.6, the ARCCONF  
     DELETE <logical_drive> command may fail with a Kernel Oops  
     error message. Even though the drives are removed from the  
     Adaptec Storage Manager console, they may not really be deleted.  
     Reboot the controller; then, issue the ARCCONF DELETE command 
     again.           
 
   6.2  External RAID Storage Notes 
 
   - If you create a pool, reboot your external RAID storage 
     enclosure with an alternative image, then delete the pool, 
     the pool appears with an offline status when you reboot with  
     the original image. You cannot delete an offline pool. 
      
   - Under rare conditions, configuration changes made with Adaptec 
     Storage Manager or the CLI may be lost when you reboot your  
     enclosure with an alternate image. 
    
   - Adaptec Storage Manager allows you to create a pool without 
     an initiator. The CLI does not. 
      
   - When you export multiple pools, Adaptec Storage Manager displays 
     only the most recent one in the Logical devices view. When you  
     import a RAID configuration, the next most recent foreign pool  
     is displayed; and so on.
