Rebuild Operation in RAID Console
The following conditions apply to the way PowerEdge
RAID Console handles rebuilds of hard-disk drives in a
cluster environment:
•
When you rebuild a failed drive, RAID Console
shows the status of the drive as Rebuild but may not
display the Rebuild Progress window during the
rebuild process. You can verify that the rebuild is in
operation by observing the activity indicator on the
front panel of the SDS 100 storage system.
•
During a rebuild operation, the RAID Console that
issued the action reserves ownership of the channel
where the failed drive is located until the rebuild is
complete. Likewise if the RAID Console running on
the peer server is simultaneously using that channel,
it will be forced to remain with the adapter that con-
trols the channel until the rebuild is complete. The
RAID Console running on the peer server will not be
able to switch to another adapter.
