8.2.6 Rebuilding Logical Drives
Depending on whether or not there is a spare drive, rebuilding is initiated automatically or must
be started manually. In the presence of a spare drive, the system automatically rebuilds onto the
spare drive. This process is done in the background, thus it is transparent to users.
In the absence of a spare drive, rebuilding must be initiated manually. Before initiating a manual
rebuild, you must first replace the failed drive. If you install the replacement drive on the same
connector (that is, the same channel and ID), then you can proceed with the rebuilding process;
otherwise, you need to scan in the drive first.
