9-18 Upgrading Your Server
Notes on Replacing Hard Disk Drives in the RAID System
When the hard disk drives are in a RAID system, you can restore the state before an error occurs, using the auto-rebuild feature
that stores the data in the old hard disk drive into a new one.
The auto-rebuild feature is available for the RAID1, RAID5, RAID6, RAID10, or RAID50.
Auto-rebuild is carried out when you hot-swap a failed hard disk drive with a new one (replace the disk while the server is
powered on). While auto-rebuild is in progress, the DISK LED flashes green and amber alternatively to indicate it.
IMPORTANT:
When auto-rebuild fails, the DISK LED lights amber. Remove and install the hard disk drive
again to restart auto-rebuild.
If the RAID System management utility is installed, it may display or act as follows.
– Displays "Rebuild was cancelled" on the screen while auto-rebuild is in progress.
– Appears to stop and restart auto-rebuild.
If the DISK LED does not light amber after auto-rebuild, however, auto-rebuild has completed
successfully.
Observe the following notes for auto-rebuild.
Do not power off the server between the detection of a hard disk drive error and the completion of the auto-rebuild..
When you remove a hard disk drive, wait at least 90 seconds before installing the hard disk drive back again.
Do not replace another hard disk drive while rebuilding is in progress. (The DISK LED flashes green and amber
alternatively when rebuilding the hard disk drive.)
