Figure 5-13. An Array in Critical condition (left) and restored

to Functional condition (right).

Normally, the rebuild process begins automatically when you repair or

replace the faulty disk drive. The Array recognizes the drive and begins the

process a few moments later.

If your RAID has a hot spare, the rebuild begins without waiting for a

replacement drive. Be sure to replace the faulty drive as soon as possible.

During the Rebuild process, the array is still available to read and write data

but it may run noticeably slower.

Manual Rebuild

To initiate a manual Array rebuild:

1. In Tree View, select the Array icon

of the array

you want to rebuild.

2. Right click on the icon and select Rebuild from the

popup menu.

OR Click the Rebuild Array

button in the

Toolbar.

3. The Rebuild Wizard will assist you further.

During the rebuild progress, the array will be available for use but it may run

noticeably slower. If the beeper is enabled, it will beep slowly during this

process.

While the Array is synchronizing, it is still available to read and write data. If

the beeper is enabled, it will beep slowly during this process.

To turn the beeper on or off, right-click on the Controller icon

or the

Enclosure icon
