C. 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 array. The procedures below assume a new drive is added to re-
place a failed drive to rebuild a RAID 1 array. (Note: The new drive must have equal or greater capacity than
the old one.)
For the Marvell 88SE9172:
Turn off your computer and replace the failed hard drive with a new one. Restart your computer. To enable an
automatic rebuild in the operating system, you have to set the new hard drive as a Spare drive in the RAID
setup utility first.
