Enabling Automatic Failover
This function controls the rebuilding of a logical drive when a failed drive is replaced. When failover is
enabled, the controller automatically rebuilds a logical drive when a failed disk drive is replaced. When
failover is disabled, the logical drive must be rebuilt manually (for more information, see
Rebuilding
Logical Drives
on page 111). Failover applies to redundant logical drives only (see
Selecting the Best RAID
Level
on page 112).
To enable or disable failover:
1. In the Enterprise View, select a controller.
2. On the ribbon, in the Controller group, click Set Properties.
The Set Properties window opens.
3. Click the Data Protect tab.
4. In the Failover drop-down list, select
Enabled
or
Disabled
, then click Apply.
