WD ARRAY MANAGEMENT SETUP
CHAPTER 5: RAID MONITORING AND MAINTENANCE WITH AMS - 51
USER MANUAL
Rebuild an Array
To rebuild is to restore redundancy to a RAID 1 after one of its drives has failed. Unlike
Synchronization, a rebuild is a repair operation.
When a drive fails for any reason, the Array goes Critical. An Array Critical icon displays
in Tree View and the RAID alarm beeps quickly to call your attention to the condition.
Automatic rebuild
Normally, the rebuild process begins automatically when you replace the faulty disk drive.
The array recognizes the new or spare drive and begins the process a few moments later.
If your array has a Hot Spare drive, the rebuild begins without waiting for a replacement
drive.
Be sure to replace the faulty drive as soon as possible.
During the rebuild process, the array is still available to read and write data but it may run
noticeably slower.
To enable a Hot Spare drive, change the rebuild settings and shut off the beeper, see rebuild
Settings, below.
If the popup messages are enabled, one will notify you when the rebuild is successfully
completed. The array will return to Functional status.
