Rebuild
When you rebuild a disk array, you are actually rebuilding the 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 begins 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” on page 34.
•
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
.
See “Rebuilding a Disk Array” on page 55 and “Spare Drives” on page 92.
