Failed Drives or Interim Recovery Mode

If a drive fails and hardware fault tolerance is enabled, operation continues. Replace the drive as soon as possible. Select a logical drive and press F3 to monitor the status of drive recovery (Figure 5-26).

Figure 5-26. Rebuilding logical drive screen

■Interim Recovery: The logical drive is operating, but a failed drive has not been replaced. Replace drive as soon as possible.

■Ready for Recovery: The logical drives are queued for recovery. This status is displayed when another logical drive is already rebuilding or expanding.

■Rebuilding: The array is operating and rebuilding a replacement drive or an online spare, if one was assigned.

■Logical Drive Failed: If you have one or more logical drives that are not protected by fault tolerance in an array, the data on these logical drives will be lost. The Array Configuration Utility shows the logical drives as FAILED. After drive replacement, any fault-tolerant logical drives rebuild. The logical drives that were not protected (FAILED) become available for data (the devices are reactivated automatically). If you have a backup of the data, restore the data now.
