Failed Physical Disk Detection

The controller automatically detects and rebuilds failed physical disks when a new drive is placed in the slot where the failed drive resided or when an applicable hot spare is present. Automatic rebuilds can be performed transparently with hot spares. If you have configured hot spares, the controllers automatically try to use them to rebuild failed physical disks.

Redundant Path With Load Balancing Support

The PERC 6/E adapter can detect and use redundant paths to drives contained in enclosures. This provides the ability to connect two SAS cables between a controller and an enclosure for path redundancy. The controller is able to tolerate the failure of a cable or enclosure management module (EMM) by utilizing the remaining path.

When redundant paths exist, the controller automatically balances I/O load through both paths to each disk drive. This load balancing feature increases throughput to each drive and is automatically turned on when redundant paths are detected. To set up your hardware to support redundant paths, see "Setting up Redundant Path Support on the PERC 6/E Adapter" on page 56.

NOTE: This support for redundant paths refers to path-redundancy only and not to controller-redundancy.

Using Replace Member and Revertible Hot Spares

The Replace Member functionality allows a previously commissioned hot spare to be reverted back to a usable hot spare. When a drive failure occurs within a virtual disk, an assigned hot spare (dedicated or global) is commissioned and begins rebuilding until the virtual disk is optimal. After the failed drive is replaced (in the same slot) and the rebuild to the hot spare is complete, the controller automatically starts to copy data from the commissioned hot spare to the newly-inserted drive. After the data is copied, the new drive is part of the virtual disk and the hot spare is reverted back to being a ready hot spare; this allows hot spares to remain in specific enclosure slots. While the controller is reverting the hot spare, the virtual disk remains optimal.

NOTE: The controller automatically reverts a hot spare only if the failed drive is replaced with a new drive in the same slot. If the new drive is not placed in the same slot, a manual Replace Member operation can be used to revert a previously commissioned hot spare.
