User`s guide

In this example, the daemon started a rebuild of Volume #1 after a failure of Disk #3. Once the

end-user replaces Disk #3 with a new hard disk drive, the SteelVine processor will initiate a rebuild to

Drive #3.

Note: Once the daemon rebuilds to a designated Hot Spare, a designated Hot Spare will not exist and

the SteelVine processor will rebuild to empty space.

With Automatic Rebuild and Immediate Rebuild options selected, the daemon automatically initiates

an immediate rebuild. If the end-user wants the daemon to delay the rebuild until after the first write to

the SAFE volume, select the Rebuild Only If Needed option. The latter setup allows temporary

removal of a hard disk drive without requiring a rebuild. To minimize the possibility of data loss, the

rebuild process should be set up to start immediately.

With Manual Rebuild selected, the end-user decides when to initiate rebuild following a rebuild

prompt. Unless the SiI 4726 Manager is actively monitored, the Automatic rebuild should be set up to

minimize the possibility of data loss.

Note: In case the end-user selects No in response to a rebuild prompt, select Scan Devices from the

File menu of the Status window to trigger a new prompt.

Note: Once the daemon rebuilds to a designated Hot Spare, a designated Hot Spare will not exist
