7.3.7 Rebuilding Arrays
You can rebuild the array to have optimal status by replacing a failed disk
of a RAID 1 or RAID 10 array with a new disk. You can perform a
Rebuild in the following ways:
7.3.8 System Shutdown Rebuild
Shutdown the system and replace the failed disk with a new one with
equal or greater capacity. Once the system is booted, a new drive can be
assigned as the spare drive, and this will start the Rebuild task. All the
data from the good disk will be copied to the new one, and the original
RAID 0 or RAID 1 array will be recreated.
Note: Rebuilding applies to Fault Tolerant arrays
(RAID 1) only.
