3.8 Rebuilding Failed Disks
If hot spare disks are present in the system, the MegaRAID controller
automatically uses them to rebuild failed disks.
3.8.1 Rebuild Types
Table 3.12 describes automatic and manual rebuilds.
Table 3.12 Rebuild Types
Type Description
Automatic
Rebuild If you have configured hot spares, the RAID controller automatically tries to use them to
rebuild failed disks. Select Objects
→
Physical Drive to display the list of physical drives
while a rebuild is in progress. The hot spare drive changes to REBLD A[array number]-
[drive number], indicating the hard drive is being replaced by the hot spare. For example,
REBLD A01-02 indicates that the data is being rebuilt in array 1 on hard drive 2.
Manual
Rebuild Manual rebuild is necessary if no hot spares with enough capacity to rebuild the failed
drives are available.You must insert a drive with enough storage into the subsystem
before rebuilding the failed drive.
The CU allows manual rebuild for an individual drive or a group of drives. Rebuilding a
group of drives is done through the batch mode. Use the following procedures to rebuild
a failed drive manually in individual or batch mode.
