Figure 2. Boot-up message indicating no logical drives were found and that the backup drives are probably in the wrong drive bays 3. During boot-up, the message will indicate that the drives are not responding (Figure 2). Press F2 to fail the missing drive and continue with one drive in recovery mode. 4. Insert the drive to be overwritten into the open drive bay, and the array rebuild should start automatically. If the rebuild does not start automatically, run the Array Configuration Utility to initiate the rebuild. CAUTION It is critical that the drives to be overwritten are hot inserted; they must not be installed while the server is powered off. NOTE The drive-online LED will blink during the rebuild process. When it stops blinking and turns solid green, the rebuild is complete. A 300-GB SAS (3.5" 15K) drive can take up to 2 hours to rebuild a mirrored (depending on the number of IOPS the server is submitting to the controller). 5. It is recommended that once the rebuild is complete, proceed with the operating system re-boot to ensure fault-tolerance with the logical drive.
