Rebuilding Failed Disk Drives
If a physical drive fails in an array configured as a RAID 1 or 5 logical drive,
you can recover the lost data by rebuilding the drive. If a rebuilding spare
fails, a new rebuild is started using a second spare, if available. The capacity
of the second spare must be equal to or greater than the failed drive.
Table 12-9 describes the rebuild types.
Manual Rebuild – Rebuilding an Individual Drive
Perform the following steps to rebuild one drive:
1 Choose Objects—> Physical Drive on the Management Menu.
A window displays the devices connected to the current controller.
2 Press the arrow keys to select the physical drive to be rebuilt and press
<Enter>.
3 Choose Rebuild from the physical drive action menu and respond to
the confirmation prompt.
Rebuilding can take some time, depending on the drive capacity.

Manual rebuild is necessary if no hot spares with enough capacity to
rebuild the failed drives are available. Select the Rebuild option on
the Management Menu or the Objects
