Important:
For SteelHead appliances, the new disk drive runs through a self-test automatically. The disk drive
automatically begins proper operation with the other disk drives. You don’t need to set up or configure the new disk
drive. It can take up to 3 to 4 hours (depending on the system load) to rebuild a new disk drive. In the web interface
you can configure SteelHead appliances to send an email to the administrator when the disk drive has finished
rebuilding.
