Rebuilding a Disk Array
When you rebuild a disk array, you are actually rebuilding the data on a
replacement physical drive.
Rebuilding Automatically
Normally, a disk array would rebuild itself using a hot disk drive, after going
Critical. However, if the Auto Rebuild function is disabled or no spare drives are
available, you must initiate the procedure.
To enable Auto Rebuild, see “Making Background Activity Settings” on page 70.
To create a spare drive, see “Creating a Spare Drive” on page 160.
For more information, see “Hot Spare Drive(s)” on page 294.
