Fast Recovery
This function recovers data quickly by relocating data in the failed drive to the other remaining drives when a
drive error is detected.
For a RAID group that is configured with RAID6-FR, Fast Recovery is performed for the reserved area that is
equivalent to hot spares in the RAID group when a drive error occurs.
If a second drive fails when the reserved area is already used by the first failed drive, a normal rebuild (hot spare
rebuild in the ETERNUS AF) is performed.
For data in a failed drive, redundant data and reserved space are allocated in different drives according to the
area. A fast rebuild can be performed because multiple rebuild processes are performed for different areas
simultaneously.

Disconnect
RAID6-FR (Redundant)
A failed drive is disconnected from the
ETERNUS storage system.
Data is created from the redundant data
in normal drives and written to reserved
space (FHS) in RAID6-FR.
Caution
For the Fast Recovery function that is performed when the first drive fails, a copyback is performed after
the failed drive is replaced even if the Copybackless function is enabled.
For a normal rebuild process that is performed when the reserved space is already being used and the
second drive fails, a copyback is performed according to the settings of the Copybackless function.
