3.7.6.3 Hot Plugged Disk For Rebuilding
It defines if the RAID array volume should start rebuilding or
not when detects a disk is inserted/re-inserted during online.
The options are: “Blank Disk Only”, “Always”, and “Disable”. The
default is “Blank Disk Only”.
“Blank Disk Only”-it will trigger the rebuilding if and only if the
inserted disk has not been in the RAID array before, which has
no RAID signature on it. So when a previously removed disk is
self re-inserted, it won’t trigger the degraded RAID array to re-
build, and so that the administrator has a chance to identify this
mis-behaving disk and replaces it.
“Always” – it is what it was before. Whenever a disk is inserted/
re-inserted whether new or previously existed, it always trigger
a rebuilding for the Degraded RAID set/Volume.
“Disable” – it will not trigger rebuilding regardless what sort of
disk plugging in.When “Disable” and/or “Blank Disk Only” is se-
lected, the re-inserted/previously removed disk will be identified
as a disk in a separate RAID set with duplicated RAIDset#
and with all the rest of RAID members missing.
