Rebuilding Virtual Drives - Hitachi Compute Blade 500 Series User Manual

Rebuilding virtual drives

This subsection describes how to rebuild RAID 1 where a physical drive fails.
Changing and rebuilding physical drives are executed by maintenance
personnel. If you need to rebuild RAID configuration for some reason, follow
the procedure described below.
Note: Adding and changing internal options in the system unit are executed
by maintenance personnel. Do not remove the unit cover and not attach or
detach internal options by yourself. Work performed by unqualified persons
can lead to injuries or system failure because electronic devices are densely
implemented on the system unit.
Note: Make sure to back up data before rebuilding virtual drives. If not, any
error in executing the procedure may corrupt data.
Note:
• Rebuild can be executed only with RAID 1 with redundancy.
• The procedure described in this section is premised on that the faulty
physical drive has been replaced with a new one.
