10. SOFTWARE RAID1

10.6.4 Rebuilding function

The rebuilding function rebuilds RAID1. Rebuilding with the OS inactive can be completed
earlier than rebuilding with the OS running. Use this function when you do not want to run the
OS or reduce the maintenance time.
<Notice>
• Before using this function, complete necessary work such as replacing defective
HDDs.
• Rebuilding is enabled only in a combination of ONLINE drive and NEW or
INCOMPLETE DATA or REBUILD drive. In other states, rebuilding is disabled
and this function cannot be selected on the menu window.
• If rebuilding is suspended for any reason after rebuilding has started, reuse the
HDDs that are being rebuilt as new HDDs by using the drive initialization function.
(See "10.6.7 Drive initialization function".) If the computer is rebooted with
rebuilding suspended, the computer may not start or HDD data may be lost.
• The rebuilding process takes about 90 minutes.
Use the rebuilding function as follows.
1. Display the Soft RAID Utility menu window.
