Rebuilding Operation in Dell OpenManage Utilities
For the rebuild operation, see your Dell OpenManage™ Array Manager or Dell OMSM
documentation.
If the cluster node is rebooted or power to the node is lost while a PERC RAID adapter is
rebuilding a shared array, the controller terminates the rebuild operation and identifies the hard
drive as failed. This condition also occurs if the rebuild is performed from the PERC RAID
adapter BIOS Configuration utility and the user exits the utility before the rebuild completes.
This condition occurs with all versions of the PERC RAID adapter firmware on both standard
and cluster-enabled controllers.
If the second node in the clustered configuration is turned on, it restarts the operation.
If the rebuild fails to complete due to a system restart, the rebuild must be reinitiated using the
PERC RAID adapter BIOS configuration utility or using the Array Manager running under the
appropriate Microsoft Windows operating system.

Array Manager
NOTE: Before upgrading the EMM firmware, ensure that all I/O activity is suspended, and shut down the
