About vdisk reconstruction

If one or more disks fail in a redundant vdisk (RAID 1, 3, 5, 6, 10, or 50) and compatible spares are
available, the storage system automatically uses the spares to reconstruct the vdisk. Vdisk reconstruction
does not require I/O to be stopped, so the vdisk can continue to be used while the Reconstruct utility runs.
A compatible spare is one whose capacity is equal to or greater than the smallest disk in the vdisk. A
compatible spare has enough capacity to replace the failed disk and is the same type (SAS or SATA). If no
compatible spares are available, reconstruction does not start automatically. To start reconstruction
manually, replace each failed disk and then do one of the following:
• Add each new disk as either a dedicated spare or a global spare. Remember that a global spare might
be taken by a different critical vdisk than the one you intended. When a global spare replaces a disk
in a vdisk, the global spare's icon in the enclosure view changes to match the other disks in that vdisk.
• Enable the Dynamic Spare Capability option to use the new disks without designating them as spares.
