Dell PowerEdge RAID Controller H700 - Manual (Page 111)

Configuring and Managing RAID 111
Restrictions and Limitations
The following restrictions and limitations apply to the Replace Member
operation:
• The Replace Member functions are restricted to one per array for RAID 0,
RAID 1, and RAID 5, and two per array for RAID 6.
• The Replace Member function and rebuild cannot run simultaneously on
a RAID 6 virtual disk. The rebuild operation has a higher priority, and the
Replace Member operation is aborted if a rebuild begins.
• The Replace Member function cannot replace a SED with a non-SED
if the virtual disk is secured.
Stopping Background Initialization
Background initialization (BGI) is the automated operation in which parity is
created and written. BGI does not run on RAID 0 virtual disks. Under certain
conditions, the BIOS Configuration Utility displays a message if you want to
stop BGI in progress. An alert message is displayed if BGI is in progress and
you start any of the following actions:
• A Full Initialization on the virtual disk
• A Fast Initialization on the virtual disk
• A Consistency Check on the virtual disk
The following alert message is displayed: The virtual disk is
undergoing a background initialization process. Would you
like to stop the operation and proceed with the <full
initialization/quick initialization/consistency check>
instead?
Click Yes to stop the BGI and start the requested operation or No to allow
BGI to continue.
Performing a Manual Rebuild of an Individual Physical Disk
Use the following procedures to rebuild one failed physical disk manually.
1 Press <Ctrl><N> to access the PD Mgmt screen.
A list of physical disks is displayed. The status of each disk is displayed
under the heading State.
2 Press the down-arrow key to highlight a physical disk that has a failed state.
