5.4.5 Other FastBuild Utility Commands

Command options 3-6 on the FastBuild™ Utility main menu are not
required for setting up an array, but they are useful for reconfiguring an
array.

View Array (3): This command allows you to view the drive assignments
of hard disks in an array.

Delete Array (4): This command deletes an array to reconfigure the
system. Deleting an array does not remove information on the hard disks.
If an array is deleted by mistake, recover it immediately by redefining it as
the deleted array.

Rebuild Array (5): This command restores the array and system data
after faults on RAID 1 arrays.

Follow these steps to rebuild and restore data in the array:

1. On boot-up, an error message notifies of a system failure.

2. Press <Ctrl-F> to enter the FastBuild™Main Menu.

3. Select <3> for View Array to verify the ID of the defunct hard disk.

4. Power off the system and replace the hard disk with an identical model.

5. Reboot and enter the FastBuild™ Main Menu again.

6. Select <5> for Rebuild Array. The malfunctioning array is highlighted.

Press Enter to select.

Depending on the operating system you are installing (or that is
already installed), the RAID driver installation sequence may vary.
