Rebuilding a Disk Array

When you rebuild a disk array, you are actually rebuilding the data on one of its
physical drives.
If there is no spare drive of adequate capacity, you must replace the failed drive
with an unconfigured physical drive, then perform a Rebuild manually.
See "Replacing a Physical Drive" on page 107.
To perform a manual rebuild:
1.
From the Admin menu, choose Background Activities.
2.
Mouse-over Rebuild and click the Start button.
3.
From the Source Physical Drive dropdown menu, choose a Source disk
array and physical drive.
Arrays have an ID No. Physical drives have a Seq. No.(sequence number)
4.
From the Target Physical Drive dropdown menu, choose a Target physical
drive.
5.
In the Confirmation box, type the word "confirm" in the field provided and
click the Confirm button.
