Table 36. Cannot Create a Global Spare
Possible Causes
Additional Information
Corrective Actions
The disk is already part of
an array
A global spare cannot be selected if it
is already part of an existing array.
Select a different disk.
There are no empty disks
available or the disks have
not been initialized
A disk with a legacy state can be
initialized, if desired, but it is no
longer legacy (initialization adds
RAIDXpert2 configuration
information to the disk).
Install additional disks.
Initialize the disks.
CAUTION: When a disk is initialized,
all data on the disk is lost.
The disk assigned as the
global spare has failed or is
missing.
See Section 7.5.1, Troubleshooting
Disks, on page 93.
Table 37. Recreate a Deleted Array
Possible Causes
Additional Information
Corrective Actions
An array(s) was
accidentally deleted, or the
wrong array was deleted
This procedure might
recreate a deleted array and
with its data intact.
However, this is not
guaranteed to occur.
If I/O was running to the
deleted array(s) just prior
to it being deleted, there
might be some data loss in
the recreated array(s).
If multiple arrays were
deleted, all of the deleted
arrays must be recreated in
order to recover the desired
array.
1. At the Array pop-up menu, select Create.
2. Create a new array using the same settings
as the deleted array.
 The same disks.
 The same RAID type (RAID level).
 The same capacity.
 The same cache options.
3. Check Leave Existing Data Intact.
4. Click Create.
5. Ensure the settings are the same as the
deleted array:
 The same drive letter.
 The same RAID type (RAID level).
 The same disks.
 The same capacity.
 The same cache option
6. Check the data files of the array for
corrupted or missing files, incorrect file
extensions, and so on.
