Configuring Disk Drives
v Caution:
If the drive is already used in an array, configuring it may make the array
unusable.
Do not configure a drive that is part of a boot array. To determine which drives
are associated with a particular array, see Viewing Array Properties .
You will not be able to configure drives already used in an array (even if it is
a broken array with missing members). You must delete the array before you
can configure the drives.
To configure drives:
1. From the ACU Main menu, select
Configure Drives

then press
Insert

5. Read the warning message and ensure that you have selected the correct
disk drives to configure. Type Y to continue.
Rebuilding Arrays
v Note:
Rebuilding applies to Fault Tolerant arrays (RAID 1) only.
By replacing a failed drive of a RAID 1 array with a new drive, you can Rebuild to get
the array to Optimal status and assume fault tolerance. You can perform a Rebuild in
the following ways:
v Note:
If no spare exists and a hard disk drive fails, you need to create a spare
before you can rebuild an array. See Adding/ Deleting Hotspares before
continuing your Rebuild.
System Shutdown Rebuild
You can shut down the system and replace the failed drive with a new one (of
equal or greater capacity). W hen the system is booted, you can assign the new
drive as a spare, and this will start the Rebuild task. All the data from the good
drive is copied to the new one, and the original RAID 1 array is recreated.
