Repairing an Offline Disk Array or Logical Drive
RAID 1, 1E, 5, 6, 10, 50, and 60 Logical Drives
If a fault-tolerant logical drive, RAID 1, 1E, 5, 6, 10, 50, and 60, goes offline,
it may be possible to recover your data.
RAID 0 Logical Drives

1. Identify the failed physical drive.
See “Locating a Physical Drive” on page 119.

See “Deleting a Disk Array” on page 127 and “Creating a Disk Array

5. Restore the data from your backup source.
