5.4.5 Other FastBuild Utility Commands

Command options 3-6 on the FastBuild™ Utility Main Menu are not required
for setting up an array, but they are useful for reconfiguring an array:
View Array (3): View the drive assignments of hard disks in an array.
Delete Array (4): Deletes an array to reconfigure the system. Deleting an
array does not remove information on the hard disks. If an array is deleted
by mistake, recover it immediately by redefining it as the deleted array.
Rebuild Array (5): This command restores the array and system data after
faults on RAID 1 arrays. Follow the steps below to rebuild and restore data
in the array:
1. On boot-up, an error message notifies of a system failure.
2. Press <Ctrl-F> keys to enter the FastBuild™Main Menu.
3. Select <3> for View Array to verify the ID of the defunct hard disk.
4. Power off the system and replace the hard disk with an identical model.
5. Reboot and enter the FastBuild™ Main Menu again.
6. Select <5> for Rebuild Array. The malfunctioning array is highlighted.
