REBUILDING A DISK ARRAY
When you rebuild a disk array, you actually rebuild data on one or more
physical drive sfrom redundant data maintained on other drives. If there
is no spare drive of adequate capacity, you must replace the failed drive
with an unconfigured physical drive, then perform a Manual Rebuild.
On the carrier with the failed drive, the drive power/ status LED will be
red.
Performing A Manual Rebuild
To perform a manual rebuild:
1. Click on the Background Activities icon.
2. Mouse-over Rebuild, then click Start.
3. From the Source Physical Drive drop-down menu, choose a Source disk array
and physical drive. Arrays have an ID number. Physical drives have a sequence
number.
4. From the Target Physical Drive drop-down menu, choose a Target physical drive.
5. In the Confirmation box, type the word "CONFIRM" in the field provided, then
click Confirm. While the disk array is rebuilding:
• The disk array will show a green check icon and a Rebuilding status.
• Logical drives under the disk array will continue to show a yellow “!” icon and
a Critical, Rebuilding status.
• If the buzzer is enabled, your G-RAID Shuttle device will emit two quick beeps
every
five seconds. When the beeps stop, the rebuild is complete.
