When a Physical Drive Fails
The following will occur when a physical drive fails or goes offline:
•
The Controller’s audible alarm, if enabled, will sound
•
RAIDXpert reports the condition in Tree View, with popup messages and, if
Event Notification is set up, email messages
•
If you have a RAID 1 or 5 logical drive with a hot spare drive properly
configured, the logical drive will automatically rebuild itself using the spare
drive
In the example above, amber ! icons appear over the Logical Drive View
and Logical Drive
icons. Click Logical Drive View or the Logical Drive to
verify the condition of the logical drive.
In this example, the Status is Critical and Background activity is Idle. This
condition indicates that there is no automatic rebuild, so you must take action to
restore the logical drive:
1.
Identify the failed physical drive.
2.
Replace the failed physical drive.
3.
Rebuild your logical drive.
