Cancel a Schedule

2. Click on the Logical Drive icon.

4. Click on the Disable radio button.
Automatic Rebuild
Automatic rebuilding of a logical drive is possible under the following conditions:
• The logical drive is a RAID 1 or a 3-drive RAID 5.
See “Create a Logical Drive” on page 62.
• There is a spare drive present in the RAID system.
See “Create a Spare Drive” on page 85.
• Automatic Rebuild Status is enabled in the Controller Settings.
See “Controller Settings” on page 49.
If the three above conditions are met, a logical drive will replace a faulty disk
drive and rebuild itself automatically. WebPAM will report the critical logical drive
and automatic rebuild in its user interface as well as via popup messages.
Depending on your Event Notification settings (see page 38), WebPAM can also
notify you via email message.
When the automatic rebuild operation is completed, you must remove and
replace the faulty physical drive with a new one.
See “Replace the Failed Disk Drive” on page 81 and the FastTrak User Manual
and SuperSwap User Manual for more information on replacing a physical drive.
Synchronize/Redundancy Check All Logical Drives
The Logical Drive View–Synchronization Schedule tab enables you to
synchronize all logical drives. You can also synchronize an individual logical
drive, see page 77.
Synchronization refers to an automated process of checking and correcting data
and parity. Unlike a Rebuild, Synchronization is a maintenance operation.
