Rebuilding Logical Drives; Creating A Support Archive File - Adaptec CDP-00278-02-A User Manual

Rebuilding Logical Drives

A hot-swap rebuild occurs when a controller detects that a failed disk drive in a logical drive has been
removed and then reinserted.
To start a hot-swap rebuild:
1. Following manufacturer's instructions, gently pull the failed disk drive from the server without fully
removing it, then wait for it to spin down fully before continuing.
2. If there is nothing wrong with the disk drive, reinstall it, following manufacturer's instructions.
If necessary, replace the failed disk drive with a new disk drive of equal or larger size.
3. The controller detects the reinserted (or new) disk drive and begins to rebuild the logical drive.

Creating a Support Archive File

Your Adaptec by PMC support representative might ask you to create a configuration and status
information archive file to help diagnose a problem with your system.
To create the support archive file:
1. In the Enterprise View, select the system on which the problem is occurring. (Look for the orange
or red error icons in the Enterprise View.)
2. On the ribbon, in the System group, click Save Archive.
The Save Archive window opens.
3. Click Save.
4. When the File Download window opens, enter a name for the archive file or accept the default
name, then click Save.
5. In the Save Archive window, click Close.
