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.
If a power failure interrupts a rebuild, the daemon will restart the rebuild process.
