Rebuilding An Array; Enabling Automatic Rebuild - Gigabyte GA-EX58-UD4 User Manual

Rebuilding an Array

Rebuilding is the process of restoring data to a hard drive from other drives in the array. Rebuilding
applies only to fault-tolerant arrays such as RAID 1, RAID 5, or RAID 10 arrays. The procedures below
assume a new drive is added to replace a failed drive to rebuild a RAID 1 array. (Note: The new drive
must have equal or greater capacity than the old one.)
• Intel ICH10R SATA controller:
Turn off your computer and replace the failed hard drive with a new one. Restart your computer.

Enabling Automatic Rebuild

Step 1:
When the message "Press <Ctrl-I> to enter Configuration Utility" appears, press <Ctrl> + <I> to enter the
RAID Configuration Utility. The following screen appears after you enter the RAID Configuration Utility.

Step 2:
Select the new hard drive to add into the array to be rebuilt and press <Enter>. The following screen
appears, indicating that an automatic rebuild will be performed automatically after you enter the
operating system (look for the Intel Storage Console icon
that a RAID volume is being rebuilt). If you do not enable automatic rebuild on this stage, you have to
manually rebuild the array in the operating system (see the next page for more details).
