Manual Rebuild
Swapping the dead Physical Device by the Hot Swap (hot line insertion/removal) allows you to perform the
Rebuild. In case that the Physical Device was swapped after turning the power of the server OFF, the Auto
Rebuild function may not be operated. In such case, recover the Virtual Drive by the Manual Rebuild function
described below.
As an example, a case that 1 Physical Device is dead under the environment where the Virtual Drive of RAID1 is
created by using 2 Physical Devices is described. At this time, the dead Physical Device is swapped after turning
the power of the server OFF without the hot line swapping, the Auto Rebuild function may not be operated. In
such case, recover the Virtual Drive by the Manual Rebuild function described below.
1. Select "Drive Management" from the HII main menu, and press the <Enter> key.
2. Check that the status of the swapped Physical Device is "Unconfigured Good", and press the <Enter>
key.
3. Select "Assign Dedicated Hot Spare Drive" from "Select operation", and press the <Enter> key.
Important

For the Rebuild function of swapping the Physical Devices by the Hot
Swap, swap the disks after starting up the OS or HII.

You can check the progress of Rebuild on Universal RAID Utility screen,
after exiting HII.
