Adaptec Storage Manager Rebuilding Logical Drives, Solving Notification Problems

Chapter 16: Solving Problems ●151
Rebuilding Logical Drives
A hot-swap rebuild occurs when a controller detects that a failed disk
drive in a logical drive has been removed and then reinserted.
To start a hot-swap rebuild:
1Following manufacturer’s instructions, gently pull the failed disk
drive from the server without fully re moving it, then wait for it to
spin down fully before continuing.
2If there is nothing wrong with the disk drive, reinstall it, following
manufacturer’s instructions.
If nec essary, replace the failed disk drive with a new disk drive of
equal or larger size.
3The controller detects the reinserted (or new) disk drive and begins
to rebuild the logical drive.
Solving Notification Problems
To test notifications on your storage space, you can send test events or
emails to ensure that they’re being received properly.
If your test event fails:
1Ensure that the remote system is powered on and running Adaptec
Storage Manager.
2Open the remote system’s System Properties window (see Step 3 on
page 107) and double-check the TCP/IP address and port number.
3Try sending the test event again.
If your test email fails:
1Ensure that the recipient’s email address is correct. (See Modifying a
Recipient’s Information on page 115 to modify the address.)
2Ensure that your SMTP server address is correct. (See Changing the
Ema il Notification Manager Settings on page 118 to modify the
address.)
3Try sending the test message again.
