Chapter 5
Rebuilding: The physical drive is involved in a rebuild process to
recover data that was on a failed drive.
Logical Devices box: When arrays, logical drives, and hot spares have
been defined, they are displayed here. Clicking on Logical View or
Physical View switches between showing logical drives and physical
drives. Clicking on the + sign in the yellow diamond expands the view if
it is collapsed (physical or logical drives or hot spares are hidden).
Status line: The status line at the bottom of the window shows the
progress of the scan required to build the displays on the HP NetRAID
Assistant window. It also suggests possible actions.

Select Adapter to Configure

If you installed one or more HP NetRAID-3Si adapters, look in the Adapter box
to see if the integrated HP NetRAID controller is displayed. The integrated HP
NetRAID controller is always defined as Adapter 0. If not, select it from the pull-
down list.

Clear Configuration

You should clear the configuration to prepare it for the new configuration.
To clear the existing configuration:
1. Select the Configuration menu.
2. Choose Clear Configuration.
3. Click OK.

Check Rebuild Rate

During a rebuild, the content of a complete physical drive is rewritten. Normal
operations can go on during a rebuild, but performance may be degraded. The
Rebuild Rate controls the rate at which a rebuild is performed. A high Rebuild
Rate (over 50%) speeds up the rebuild, but slows system performance. A low
Rebuild Rate (under 50%) slows the rebuild process, but speeds up system
performance. The default setting for the Rebuild Rate is 50%.
To check the Rebuild Rate from the HP NetRAID Assistant window:
1. Choose Rebuild Rate from the Adapter menu.
2. Reset the rate by dragging the slider with the mouse.
3. Click OK.
