Modifying RAID group partitions
A RAID group may have several Terabytes of total
data capacity because of the size of the included
drives. Partitions allow you to break up large RAID
groups into smaller, more manageable groups.
Most host systems can address only 2 TB per LUN.
Partitioning increases storage efficiency by providing
more LUNs without using lower capacity RAID groups.
Partitioning allows the creation of multiple logical
volumes.

Rebuilding RAID groups
If RAID groups become compromised in some
fashion, you must rebuild them.
If you have previously enabled Auto-Rebuild and
unallocated drives or Hot Spares are available, one of
those drives is substituted for the failed drive and a
rebuild takes place automatically.
Refer to
page 16 for information on Auto-Rebuild and to
FastStream process: adding or removing Hot
Spares
on page 34 for information on Hot Spares.
Hot Spares, if available, are used first, regardless of
the Auto-Rebuild setting.
If you have not enabled Auto-Rebuild, use this
procedure to rebuild the faulted RAID group.
