failed physical drive Manually rebuilding a failed drive

Use this action to rebuild a degraded logical device when a physical drive in the pool is failed. Normally, the controller rebuilds a logical device when it detects the removal and reinsertion of a drive that is part of a pool. Use this operation to force the rebuild to begin immediately, without physically removing and replacing the disk drive.

Note: The controllers can rebuild RAID level-1, level-5, level-10, and level-50 logical devices. They cannot, however, rebuild RAID level-0 logical devices because RAID level-0 is not redundant.

Complete the following steps to manually rebuild a failed drive:

  1. In the Physical devices view, click failed physical drive (failed physical drive).

  2. Right-click Rebuild drive.

  3. Click Yes to confirm.

    Note: During the rebuild operation, the failed drive enters the rebuild state and the logical device remains degraded until the rebuild operation is completed.
