4-44 Configuring Your Server
IMPORTANT:
Be sure to make backup copy of data and perform Consistency
Check before starting Reconstruction.
The Reconstruction is disabled in the configuration where several
virtual drives are defined in one disk group
During Reconstruction, the processing rate is decreased due to much
load.
The Reconstruction may be performed for the degraded or partially
degraded virtual drive. However, it is recommended to execute
Rebuild to recover the virtual drive, then execute Reconstruction.
During Reconstruction, do not shutdown or reboot the server. If the
server is shutdown by an unforeseen accident such as power
interruption, turn on the power again as soon as possible. The
Reconstruction is automatically restarted.
In some configuration, Background Initialize may start
automatically upon completion of Reconstruction.
