5.6.8 Unlock Drives

The RAID controller may lock abnormal drives in an array. You may unlock these
drives and rejoin them in an array. Drives may be locked with one of two conditions:
1. If a drive returns data too slowly, the controller will determine the drive is
experiencing a failure and execute Drive Drop. When you unlock the drive, it will be
added directly to the array if there has not been drive access during the locked
period. Otherwise, the controller will rebuild parity data on the drive when the drive
is online.
Note
If "Drive Drop" occurs, it is recommended to use S.M.A.R.T. to
check the drive condition and replace it if necessary.
2. When a drive has been used by RAID system, that drive will be locked if insert it to
another RAID system.
Follow the steps below to select a drive to unlock.
