Rebuilding Stops Due to Bad Sectors
If rebuilding fails to complete due to bad disk sector errors (check in the Event Log), there is an option to
continue rebuilding on error in the HighPoint rDrive Manager.
1.
Log into the rDrive Manager
2.
Click Settings tab
3.
Change Enable Continue Rebuilding on Error to Enabled
This option will enable rebuilding to ignore bad sectors and attempt to make your data accessible. It is
important to backup immediately after backup is complete and replace or repair the disks with bad
sectors.
Critical Array Becomes Disabled When You Removed Faulty Disk
If this is the case, you may have removed the wrong disk. When you remove the wrong disk from a
critical array, the array status may become disabled. Data is inaccessible for disabled arrays. Follow
these steps to restore the array to the previous state.
1.
Shut down your PC
2.
Shut down the rDrive 6628TM Enclosure
3.
Place all disks back to original configuration
4.
Boot up PC
Your array should be back to Critical status. Identify the correct disk and rebuild from there.
Online RAID Roaming
One of the features of all HighPoint RAID controllers is online array roaming. Information about the RAID
configuration is stored on the physical drives. So if a card fails or you wish to switch cards, the RAID
configuration data can still be read by another HighPoint card.
