u Rebuild RAID 1 Set
This menu selection is used to initiate the copying of data from an existing drive to a

members.
1. Select "Rebuild RAID1 set."
2. Select the desired set and press Enter.
3. Press "Y" when asked "Are You Sure?"

u Resolving Conflicts
When a RAID set is created, the metadata written to the disk includes drive connec-
tion information including the channel on the host controller to which it is connected.
If after a drive failure the replacement drive was previously part of a RAID set or
used in another system, it may have conflicting metadata, specifically in reference to
the drive connection information. If so, this will prohibit the RAID set from being either
created or rebuilt. In order for the RAID set to function properly, this old metadata
must be first overwritten with the new metadata. To correct this, select "Resolve
Conflict", and the correct metadata, including the correct drive connection information,
will automatically be written to the replacement drive.
