Error and Notification Messages
www.3ware.com 229
0004 Rebuild failed
Event Type
Error
Cause
The 3ware RAID controller was unable to complete a rebuild operation. This
error can be caused by drive errors on either the source or the destination of
the rebuild. However, because ATA drives can reallocate sectors on write
errors, the rebuild failure is most likely caused by the source drive of the
rebuild detecting a read error.
Action
The default operation of the 3ware RAID controller is to abort a rebuild if an
error is encountered. If you want rebuilds to continue when there is a source
error, you can set a unit policy to Continue on Source Error During Rebuild in
3DM or CLI.
The consequence of continuing a rebuild when there is a source error is that
there may be corrupt data in your rebuilt unit. In some cases, however, this
may be your only alternative for recovering as much data as possible from a
unit that has become degraded.
To lower the likelihood of getting this error, schedule regular verifications.
