10.2 Rebuilding Array
Purpose:
The working status of array includes Functional, Disk Loss and Offline. By viewing the array status, you can take
immediate and proper maintenance for the disks so as to ensure the high security and reliability of the data stored
in the disk array.
When there is no disk loss in the array, the working status of array will change to Functional; when the number of
lost disks has exceeded the limit, the working status of array will change to Offline; in other conditions, the
working status is Disk Loss.
When the virtual disk is in Degraded status, you can restore it to Functional by array rebuilding.
