Rebuilding an Array: Rebuilding is the process of restoring data to a hard drive from other drives in the array. Rebuilding applies only to fault-tolerant arrays such as RAID 1 or RAID 10 arrays. To replace the old drive, make sure to use a new drive of equal or greater capacity. The procedures below assume a new drive is added to replace a failed drive to rebuild a RAID 1 array. While in the operating system, make sure the chipset drivers and ATi SB700/750 RAID Utility have been installed from the motherboard driver disk. Then launch the AMD RAIDXpert from All Programs in the Start Menu. Step 1: Enter the login ID and password (default:"admin"), and then click Sign in to launch AMD RAIDXpert. Step 2: Select the RAID array to be rebuilt under Logical Drive View and click the Rebuild tab in the Logical Drive Information pane. Step 3: Select one available drive and click Start Now to start the rebuilding process. Step 4: The rebuilding progress is displayed on the screen and you can select Pause/Resume/ Abort/Restart during the rebuilding process. Step 5: When done, the array's status on the Information page in the Logical Drive Information pane will display as Functional. - 83 - Appendix
