FIBRE-to-SAS/SATA RAID SUBSYSTEM

User Manual

7. Enable automatic rebuild if required. If enabled the RAID will be automatically

rebuild if it becomes degraded (i.e. a disk fails), provided a spare is available.

This option can either be Disabled, ASAP, or Background.

NOTE: The Auto Rebuild option is not available for RAID level 0.

NOTE: The performance of the system will slow down during a

rebuild.

IMPORTANT: When rebuilding a RAID you should not remove the

faulty disk until the rebuild is complete. If you must remove the

disk then the data should be backed up prior to removing the disk.

8. Select from the following sparing strategies:

If local sparing is selected, one of the selected disks will be assigned as the local

spare. If global sparing is selected and no global spare has been assigned (or the

current global spare is too small), a warning message will be displayed. A disk

that is assigned as a local spare can only be used by the RAID that it is assigned

to. Refer to Spare Drive Strategy Section on creating spare disks.
