Reconstructing and Rebuilding Drives

105

You installed a replacement drive in a different physical slot from the
failed drive.

A logical drive of RAID level 0 shared space on the drive that needs to be
rebuilt.

To rebuild drives manually, you must have a Ready drive of equivalent size. The
HP NetRAID system will not rebuild data onto a hot spare when you initiate the
rebuild manually.

You can select Manual Rebuild from all HP NetRAID management utilities.
