3ware Escalade Storage Switch User Guide Rebuilding a mirrored or RAID 5 array with no hot spare 1 Reboot the system and enter the Disk Array Configuration Utility. 2 If your mirrored or RAID 5 array has a Not in Use member drive, the drive may still be usable. Try rebuilding with the Not in Use drive intact. Simply select the array and then the Rebuild button. 3 Confirm that you selected the correct array by hitting OK in the Rebuild confirmation display. 4 Select F8 to exit the Disk Array Configuration Utility. The array will begin rebuilding after completion of the operating system load. 5 If the rebuild fails and you have no Available Drives, you must replace the drive and restart the rebuild process with the new drive. If the rebuild process fails and you have Available Drives, reboot the system and enter the Disk Array Configuration Utility. 6 Select an available drive to replace the faulted drive in the array by navigating the cursor over the available drive and hitting Enter (see Figure 18).
