If the state of the logical drive is critical (CRT), you must rebuild the defunct hard disk drive promptly. The replacement hard disk drive must be the same size or larger than the failed drive. If the hard disk drive being rebuilt is part of a RAID level 0 logical drive, the RAID level 0 drive is blocked to external access during the rebuild process. - If you use the ServeRAID Configuration program to initiate the rebuild process, the program unblocks the RAID level 0 logical drive when the rebuild process completes. If the rebuild process is interrupted, you must restart the server to unblock the blocked RAID level 0 logical drive. - If you use the Administration and Monitoring Utility program to initiate the rebuild process, you must unblock the RAID level 0 logical drive when the rebuild process completes. (See "Unblocking logical drives" on page 38 for more information.) Data that was stored in a RAID level 0 logical drive is lost during the rebuild process. If you backed up the data before the drive failed, you can restore the data to the new drive. Rebuilding a Drive To rebuild a physical drive: 1. Start the ServeRAID Configuration program (see "Starting the ServeRAID Configuration program" on page 77). 2. Select Rebuild/Device Management from the Main Menu; then, press Enter. 3. Select Rebuild Drive from the next menu; then, press Enter. The cursor is active in the Array/Bay list. 4. A pop-up window appears. Select one of the following: Select Same Location if you physically replaced a hard disk drive in the same bay; then, press Enter. A Confirm pop-up window appears. Select Yes and continue with step 5. Select New Location to assign a hard disk drive in a new location. Use the Up Arrow (↑) or Down Arrow (↓) key to select the replacement drive that you want to use for the rebuild operation; then, press Enter. Information and status messages about each stage of the rebuild process appear on the screen. 5. When the rebuild process completes, press Esc to return to the Main Menu. The new configuration is saved. 6. Back up the new configuration to diskette (see "Backing up the disk-array configuration" on page 126). 7. Select Exit to leave the ServeRAID Configuration program. 132 Netfinity Server HMM
