as "broken".
Broken arrays can be automatically rebuilt using hot-spare disks.
However, if there are no available spare disks, you can still rebuild the array by
adding a new disk to it. To add a disk to a broken array:
1.
Highlight the "Management" menu, and select the "Array Management"
function.
2.
Highlight the broken array that needs to be rebuilt.
3.
Click the Add Disk button on the toolbar or select "Add Disk" command from the
"Operation" menu.
4.
If the disk is successfully added to the array, rebuild process will start
automatically.
Note: In some instances, a failed array will not rebuild automatically.
To manually start the rebuild process for a broken/critical array:
1.
Highlight the "Management" menu, and select the "Array Management"
function.
2.
Highlight the array that needs to be rebuilt.
3.
Click the Rebuild button on the toolbar or select the "Rebuild" command from the
"Operation" menu.
Verifying an Array
For a RAID 1 array, the verify process compares the data of one disk to the other .
Verification checks each sector on a given disk. Periodic verification of an array
allows the disk drive firmware to take corrective actions on problem areas on the disk,
minimizing the occurrence of uncorrectable read and write errors.
To verify an array:
1. Highlight the "Management" menu, and select the "Array Management" function.
2. Highlight the array you want to verify.
3. Click the Verify button on the toolbar or select the "Verify" command from the
"Operation" menu.
4. Verify process will start.
