Rebuild

When you rebuild a disk array, you are actually using redundant data to rebuild the lost
or inaccessible data on one physical drive.
• When a physical drive in a disk array fails and a spare drive of adequate capacity
is available, the disk array begins to rebuild automatically using the spare drive.
• If there is no spare drive of adequate capacity, but the Auto Rebuild function
is ENABLED, the disk array will begin to rebuild automatically as soon as you
remove the failed physical drive and install an unconfigured physical drive in
the same slot. See Making Rebuild Settings.
• If there is no spare drive of adequate capacity and the Auto Rebuild function is
DISABLED, you must replace the failed drive with an unconfigured physical
drive, then perform a Manual Rebuild.
See Rebuilding a Disk Array and Managing Spare Drives. Also see Disk Array Degraded /
Logical Drive Critical and Disk Array Offline / Logical Drive Offline.
