Storage Manager Rebuilding a Degraded Array When a drive in an array fails, and that drive is not protected by an automatic hot spare, the array can be restored to Optimal status. Note: You can select Rebuild even if the failed drive has not been replaced and try using the drive again. If the rebuild attempt is not successful, replace the drive before starting another rebuild. To rebuild an array, follow these steps: 1 Replace the failed drive according to the procedure in your hardware documentation. 2 After the failed drive has been replaced, select Logical Configuration View in Storage Manager. 3 Double-click the array group icon to open the Array Group Information window. 4 Click Rebuild in the Array Group Information window to start the rebuild process. The drive displays a white flag to indicate that a rebuild operation is in process. The array and LSU icons display yellow flags. The percentage completion of the rebuild operation is displayed in the Array Group Information window. When the rebuild is successfully completed, the flags disappear and the array status returns to Optimal. Note: SCSI only-In a RAIDstation storage cabinet, drives have hot swap (SCA-2) connectors so that failed drives can be removed or replaced without software intervention. The RAIDstation subsystem detects that a failed drive has been physically replaced and the controller automatically starts a rebuild operation. 3-46
