The utility displays the condition of the RAID set during the POST. When a
RAID set is degraded, you can use the utility to rebuild it.
• You may only rebuild Fault Tolerant arrays (RAID 1).
• If no spare exists and a hard disk drive fails, you need to create a
spare before you can rebuild an array.
• By replacing a failed drive of a RAID 1 array with a new drive, you
can rebuild to get the array to optimal status and assume fault
tolerance.
There are two ways to rebuild a RAID set: system shutdown rebuild and
manual rebuild. Refer to the sections below for details.
System shutdown rebuild System shutdown rebuild System shutdown rebuild System shutdown rebuild System shutdown rebuild
When a RAID set drive fails or an array gets degraded, shut down the
system and replace the failed drive with a new one (of equal or greater
capacity). When you reboot the system, you can assign the new drive as a
spare, and automatically start the rebuild process. The existing drive data
is copied to the new one, and the original RAID 1 array is recreated.
