The auto-rebuild feature is available for the RAID1 or RAID5 disk array configurations.
Auto-rebuild is carried out when you hot-swap a failed hard disk with a new one (replacing the disk
drive with a new one while the server is powered up). The DISK lamp flashes green and amber
alternatively to indicate the auto-rebuild is in process.
IMPORTANT:
When auto-rebuild fails, the DISK lamp lights amber. Remove and
!
install the hard disk again to restart auto-rebuild.
If the disk array monitoring utility is installed, it may display or act as
!
follows. If the DISK lamp does not light in amber after auto-rebuild,
however, auto-rebuild has completed successfully.
– Displays "Rebuild was cancelled" on the screen while auto-rebuild is
in progress.
– Appears to stop and restart auto-rebuild.
Observe the following notes for auto-rebuild.
Do not power off the server during the period of time between a hard disk error and
!
completion of auto-rebuild.
When you removed a hard disk, wait at least 90 seconds before re-installing the hard disk.
!
Do not replace another hard disk while rebuilding is in progress. (The DISK lamp flashes
!
in green and amber alternatively while rebuilding the hard disk.)
Perform the above procedure when replacing the hard disk drive in the flex bay.
