unallocated drive.

activity.

5.2 Enable Auto-Rebuild
When Auto-Rebuild is enabled, the RTX enclosure will
automatically use any suitable unallocated drive it finds
as a replacement for a faulted drive. Suitable drives must
be large enough to replace the degraded drive and cannot
contain any RAID group information. If a Hot Spare Pool
exists, the RTX enclosure will default to using an available
Hot Spare drive from the pool before searching for an
unallocated drive.
Refer to Section 6 for instructions on how to enable Auto-
Rebuild.
