User guide

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.
