In the Enterprise View, select a controller then, in the Physical Devices tree, select the newly added drive. Boot into the operating system and login to the maxView Storage Manager software. Replace the failed drive with a new one (of equal or greater capacity). Manual Rebuild using maxView Storage Manager In this example, the new drive on Channel 0 ID 0 is to be added as a hot spare for Logical Drive 1.ĪRCCONF SETSTATE 1 DEVICE 0 0 HSP LOGICALDRIVE 1įor further information on ARCCONF, please refer to the Command Line Interface User's Guide

Enter the number of the logical device that is in degraded state and needs to be rebuilt. Use the ARCCONF command 'setstate' in order to assign the newly added drive to be a hot spare. Manual Rebuild using ARCCONF (Command Line Utility) Note: The CTRL + S option is not available on all controllers. Highlight the array that needs to be rebuilt, and select CTRL + S option in order to manage hot spares for the array, add in the new drive as global hot spare for the array and a rebuild will begin on the degraded array automatically.

Select 'Initialize Drives' and initialize the new drive that you have added to the system. When inside the ACU utility, select 'Array Configuration Utility', then press Enter. Boot the system, press CTRL + A to access the ACU utility on system boot up. Manual Rebuild using ACU (Array Configuration Utility) BIOS The controller detects the new disk drive and begins to rebuild the array.įor the event that the above does not apply, or to start a rebuild of a RAID array manually, there are three possible ways to do this. When a array is not protected by a hot spare, if a disk drive in that array fails, remove and replace the failed disk drive.

When an array is protected by a hot spare, if a disk drive in that array fails the hot spare is automatically incorporated into the array and takes over for the failed drive.
