6.3 Failing a Drive
During a drive failure, the system responds differently depending
on the current array configuration. The following describes the
possible scenarios:
♦
If there is a spare drive assigned to the selected logical
drive, the virtual controller will automatically start data
rebuilding in the background onto the spare drive.
♦
If there is no spare drive assigned to the selected logical
drive, the failed drive must be replaced and rebuilding
must be initiated manually. If the replacement drive is
installed on a different connector, you will need to first
scan in the drive and assign it as a spare drive for the
affected logical drive before rebuilding can be initiated.
While the logical drive is being rebuilt, its respective icon on the
Logical Drives window reflects the rebuilding status. The
Physical Drives window also reflects the rebuilding status
through the assigned spare drive.
