Rebuilding Logical Drives

A hot-swap rebuild occurs when a controller detects that a failed disk
drive in a logical drive has been removed and then reinserted.

To start a hot-swap rebuild:

1

Following manufacturer’s instructions, gently pull the failed disk
drive from the server without fully removing it, then wait for it to
spin down fully before continuing.

2

If there is nothing wrong with the disk drive, reinstall it, following
manufacturer’s instructions.

If necessary, replace the failed disk drive with a new disk drive of
equal or larger size.

3

The controller detects the reinserted (or new) disk drive and begins
to rebuild the logical drive.

Solving Notification Problems

To test notifications on your storage space, you can send test events or
emails to ensure that they’re being received properly.

If your test event fails:

1

Ensure that the remote system is powered on and running Adaptec
Storage Manager.

2

Open the remote system’s System Properties window (see

Step 3 on

page 107

) and double-check the TCP/IP address and port number.

3

Try sending the test event again.

If your test email fails:

1

Ensure that the recipient’s email address is correct. (See

Modifying a

Recipient’s Information on page 115

to modify the address.)

2

Ensure that your SMTP server address is correct. (See

Changing the

Email Notification Manager Settings on page 118

to modify the

address.)

3

Try sending the test message again.
