Table 11 RAID-6 reconstruction scenarios
Action RequiredSymptom
To start reconstruction manually, replace each failed disk, and then do
one of the following:
No compatible spares are available,
reconstruction does not start
automatically
• Add each new disk as either a dedicated spare or a global spare.
Remember that a different critical Vdisk or disk group might take the
global spare than the one you intended. When a global spare replaces
a disk in a Vdisk or disk group, the global spare’s icon in the enclosure
view changes to match the other disks in that Vdisk or disk group.
• Enable the Dynamic Spare Capability option to use the new disks
without designating them as spares.
The system uses the spare to reconstruct the Vdisk or disk group. If a
second disk fails during reconstruction, reconstruction continues until it is
One disk fails and a compatible spare is
available
complete, regardless of whether a second spare is available. If the spare
fails during reconstruction, reconstruction stops.
The system waits five minutes for a second spare to become available.
After five minutes, the system uses the spare to reconstruct one disk in
Two disks fail and only one compatible
spare is available
the Vdisk or disk group (referred to as fail 2, fix 1 mode). If the spare fails
during reconstruction, reconstruction stops.
The system uses both spares to reconstruct the Vdisk or disk group. If
one of the spares fails during reconstruction, reconstruction proceeds in
Two disks fail and two compatible spares
are available
fail 2, fix 1 mode. If the second spare fails during reconstruction,
reconstruction stops.

NOTE: Depending on the Vdisk or disk group RAID level and size, disk speed, utility priority,
and other processes running on the storage system, reconstruction can take hours or days to
complete. You can stop reconstruction only by deleting the Vdisk or disk group.

A single drive failure causes the Vdisk or disk group to
go OFFL and Trust cannot recover the data. Data is
restored from the backup.

consider the option to replace the failed disk drive or clear
meta-data on LEFTOVR drive and add it as a spare.
