Rebuilding an Array
About Rebuilding
Rebuilding is the process of restoring data to a hard drive from other drives in the array.
For example, if you have a three disk RAID 5 array and one of the drives fails, you will
need to replace the failed drive with a new one, and rebuild the array to re‐generate the
lost data on the newly added drive.
• Rebuilding Occurs in the Background
The rebuilding process takes some time to complete, and occurs in the background so
as not to affect the performance of the system.
• Rebuilding Applies Only to RAID 1, RAID 0+1, or RAID 5 Arrays
Rebuilding an array works only when using RAID 1, RAID 0+1, or RAID 5. Rebuilding
does not apply to RAID 0 and JBOD arrays.
• Rebuilding applies to a degraded fault tolerant array
You can rebuild a degraded mirrored array using any available Free Disk or Dedicated
Disk.
