RAIDXpert User Manual If any bad sectors are found, they are listed here. RAIDXpert informs you by popup and email messages when a bad sector error is logged (see page 36). After 10 bad sectors have been discovered on a physical drive, RAIDXpert issues a warning to replace the drive. After 20 bad sectors have been discovered: • On fault-tolerant (RAID 1, 5, or 10) logical drives, the RAID controller will set down the physical drive (take it offline) and the logical drive will go critical. Replace the physical drive and rebuild your logical drive. • On non-fault-tolerant (RAID 0 or RAID Ready) logical drives, the physical drive remains online. Backup your data, replace the physical drive, create a new logical drive and copy your data to it. See "Rebuilding a Logical Drive" on page 74 and "Managing a Critical or Offline Logical Drive" on page 84. See your system User Manual for more information about replacing a physical drive. Deleting Physical Drive Backup Information When you make a backup of your RAID Ready logical drive, the physical drive used for the backup becomes a RAID 1 mirrored pair with the RAID Ready drive. See "Backing up a RAID Ready Logical Drive" on page 68. To make the physical drive available for use in other logical drives or as a spare, you must delete the backup information. Important When you delete a backup drive, you delete all data on the backup drive. This operation does not affect the data on the RAID Ready logical drive. 60
