When you

rebuild a disk array, you are actually rebuilding the data on one physical drive.

If there is no spare drive of adequate capacity and the

Auto Rebuild

function is

DISAB

LED, you must replace

the failed drive with an unconfigured physical drive, then perform a Manual Rebuild. See

“Making Rebuild

Settings” on page 152.

Important

If your replacement disk drive was formerly part of a different disk array or

logical drive, you must clear the configuration data on the replacement drive

before you use it. See “Clearing a Stale or a PFA Condition” on page 186.
