Configuring a RAID Set
B. Rebuilding an Array
Rebuilding is the process of restoring data to a hard drive from other drives in the array. Rebuilding applies
only to fault-tolerant arrays such as RAID 1 and RAID 10 arrays. To replace the old drive, make sure to use a
new drive of equal or greater capacity. The procedures below assume a new drive is added to replace a failed
drive to rebuild a RAID 1 array.
While in the operating system, make sure the Chipset and RAID drivers have been installed from the motherboard
driver disk. Then double-click the
RAIDXpert2
icon on the desktop to launch the RAID utility.
Step 1:
Enter the login ID and password (default: "admin"),
and then click
Submit
to launch
AMD RAIDXpert2
.
Step 2:
In the
Disk Devices
section, left-click your mouse
twice on the newly-added hard drive.
Step 3:
On the next screen, select
Assign as Global Spare
and click
Confirm
.
Step 4:
During the rebuild process, you can select the array
that is being built (displayed in red) in the
Active
Volumes
section to check the current progress.
Step 5:
Then rebuild is complete when the
Task State
column shows "COMPLETED."
