To set up a spare drive, see “Create Spare Drive” on page 113 (WebPAM PROe)
or “Create New Spare Drive” on page 155 (CLU).
Without a Hot Spare Drive
If there is no hot spare drive of adequate capacity, you must remove the failed
drive and install an unconfigured replacement drive of the same or greater
capacity in the same slot as the failed drive. Until you install the replacement
drive, the logical drive will remain Degraded.
If the Auto Rebuild function is ENABLED, the disk array will begin to rebuild
automatically as soon as you replace the failed drive.
If the Auto Rebuild function is DISABLED, you must manually rebuild the
disk array after you replace the failed drive.
To enable Automatic Rebuild, see page 50 (WebPAM PROe) or page 153 (CLU).
To set Hot Spare Policy, see page 112 (WebPAM PROe) or page 155 (CLU).
Rebuild Operation
During rebuild:
The alarm sounds a single short beep, repeated
No warning icon displays over the Disk Array or Logical Drive
The Management Window reports the Disk Array’s Operational Status as
OK, Rebuilding.

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.
