Rebuilding The Disk Array Manually; Checking The Progress Of A Rebuild - HP Surestore Disk Array 12h - And FC60 System Administrator Manual

Rebuilding the Disk Array Manually

You can manually start a rebuild if a disk drive has failed and Auto Rebuild is disabled. To perform a
Rebuild the array must have enough capacity available, either in the form of an Active Hot Spare or
unallocated capacity.
To disable Auto Rebuild:
1. Right-click the disk array from Detail pane.
2. Click Properties.
3. Click the Configuration tab.
4. Under Rebuild, select Manual.
With Auto Rebuild disabled, you are now prepared to perform all rebuilds manually.
To rebuild the disk array manually:
1. Right-click the disk array from Detail menu.
2. Click Properties.
3. Click the Configuration tab.
4. Under Rebuild, click Manual.
5. Select the Priority you want the disk array to use as it rebuilds the disk array.
6. Click Start in the Rebuild controls. The rebuild will begin and the progress of the rebuild will be
displayed.
NOTE! If there is no Active Hot Spare or not enough unallocated capacity available, you must increase the
amount of unallocated capacity so there is enough to perform the rebuild. You can increase the amount of
unallocated capacity by adding another disk or deleting an existing logical drive.

Checking the Progress of a Rebuild

The progress of a rebuild is displayed in the Configuration window. Access this window to monitor the
progress of a rebuild.
To monitor the progress of a rebuild:
