MS-7043 ATX Mainboard Rebuild Broken RAID 1 Array When booting up the system, BIOS will detect if any member disk drives of RAID has failed or is absent. If BIOS detects any disk drive failures or missing disk drives, the status of the array will be marked as broken. If BIOS detects a broken RAID 1 array but there is a spare hard drive available for rebuilding the broken array, the spare hard drive will automatically become the mirroring drive. BIOS will show a main interface just like a duplicated RAID 1. Selecting Continue to boot enables the user to duplicate the array after booting into operating system. If BIOS detects a broken RAID 1 array but there is no spare hard drive available for rebuilding the array, BIOS will provide several operations to solve such problem. 1. Power off and Check the Failed Drive: This item turns off the computer and replaces the failed hard drive with a good one. If your computer does not support APM, you must turn off your computer manually. After replacing the hard drive, boot into BIOS and select Choose replacement drive and rebuild to rebuild the broken array. 2. Destroy the Mirroring Relationship: This item cancels the data mirroring relationship of the broken array. For broken RAID 1 arrays, the data on the surviving disk will remain after the destroy operation. However, Destroy the Mirroring Relationship is not recommend because the data on the remaining disk will be lost when the hard drive is used to create another RAID 1 array. B-12

MS-7043 ATX Mainboard
Rebuild Broken RAID 1 Array
When booting up the system, BIOS will detect if any member disk drives of RAID
has failed or is absent.
If BIOS detects any disk drive failures or missing disk drives, the
status of the array will be marked as broken.
If BIOS detects a broken RAID 1 array but there is a spare hard drive available for
rebuilding the broken array, the spare hard drive will automatically become the mirroring
drive.
BIOS will show a main interface just like a duplicated RAID 1.
Selecting
Continue
to boot
enables the user to duplicate the array after booting into operating system.
If BIOS
detects a broken RAID
1 array but there is
no
spare
hard
drive
available
for
rebuilding the array, BIOS will provide several operations to solve such
problem.
1. Power off and Check the Failed Drive:
This item turns off the computer and replaces the failed hard drive with a good
one.
If your computer does not support APM, you must turn off your computer manually.
After replacing the hard drive, boot into BIOS and select
Choose replacement drive
and rebuild
to rebuild the broken array.
2. Destroy the Mirroring Relationship:
This item cancels the data mirroring relationship of the broken array.
For broken
RAID 1 arrays, the data on the surviving disk will remain after the destroy operation.
However,
Destroy the Mirroring Relationship
is not recommend because the data
on the remaining disk will be lost when the hard drive is used to create another RAID 1
array.
