Reactivating an Off-line Array

An array goes off-line if the power fails or if someone 
removes a second disk when one has already been 
removed. To reactivate an off-line array:

1

Physically correct the problem that caused the 
array to go off-line.

2

From the Main menu for the array, select 
Reactivate Off-line Array

.

3

When prompted, type 

y

 to reactivate the array, or 

n

 to cancel the operation.

Activating a Spare Disk

If a disk fails in an array that has spares, a spare is 
automatically activated and the failed disk is marked 
Down. When you replace the failed disk with a new 
disk drive at the same channel and SCSI ID, the 
replacement disk becomes the new spare.

Testing a Spare Disk

To test a spare disk, use the Scheduler. Instructions 
are in the next section.
