Rebuild
When you rebuild a disk array, you are actually using redundant data to rebuild the lost or
inaccessible data on one physical drive.
• When a physical drive in a disk array fails and a spare drive of adequate capacity is available,
the disk array begins to rebuild automatically using the spare drive.
• If there is no spare drive of adequate capacity, but the
Auto Rebuild
function is ENABLED, the
disk array will begin to rebuild automatically as soon as you remove the failed physical drive
and install an unconfigured physical drive in the same slot. See
Making Rebuild Settings
.
• If there is no spare drive of adequate capacity and the Auto Rebuild function is DISABLED,
you must replace the failed drive with an unconfigured physical drive, then perform a
Manual Rebuild
.
