4.12.1 Automatic RAID Rebuilding
Automatic RAID rebuilding can save an administrator considerable time when servicing
a failed redundant array, virtually eliminating downtime.
This feature instructs the Host Adapter to automatically initiate a rebuild procedure for a
failed redundant array, when the Administrator inserts a new hard disk, using the card’s
Hot Swap (Recan) options.
Simply inset the new hard disk and click “Rescan” from the Manage – Array page.
The host adapter will handle the rest.
Click on the drop down menu provided for “Auto Rebuild”. Select “Enabled” and click
on the “Submit” button.
Enable Audible Alarm – enable or disable the card’s alarm. The alarm will sound if the
disk or array stops responding.
Event Log Path – Use this to select the location of the Web GUI’s event log.
Enable Continue to Rebuild on Error – this setting is disabled by default. We do not
recommend using unless replacement disks are unavailable, or if recommended by a
Customer Support technician.
Set Rebuild Priority – The default setting is Medium. Alter this setting to lower or raise
the priority of an Initialization, Rebuild or Verification session. A lower setting devotes
resources to other systems tasks. A higher setting prioritizes the RAID maintenance
session
Power Saving – Spin-down of idle disks (MAID)
This feature allows the card to safely power down RAID arrays when not in use.
