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
If a logical drive based on a non-fault-tolerant disk array, RAID 0, goes offline, all
of the data on the logical drive is lost.
To recreate your logical drive:
1. Identify the failed physical drive.
See “Locating a Physical Drive” on page 146.
2. Replace the failed drive.
3. See “Installing Physical Drives” on page 21.
4. If the disk array had more than one physical drive, delete the disk array and
re-create it.
See “Deleting a Disk Array” on page 156 and “Creating a Disk Array
Manually” on page 150.
5. Restore the data from your backup source.
Rebuilding a Disk Array
When you rebuild a disk array, you are actually rebuilding the data on one
physical drive.
• When a physical drive in a disk array fails and a spare drive of adequate
capacity is available, the disk array begins to rebuild automatically using the
spare drive.
• If there is no spare drive of adequate capacity, but the Auto Rebuild function
is ENABLED, the disk array begins to rebuild automatically as soon as you
remove the failed physical drive and install an unconfigured physical drive in
the same slot. See “Making Rebuild Settings” on page 120.
Warning
Take no further corrective action until you have consulted with
Technical Support! See page 435.
