Chapter 6: Advanced Configuration and Management

Setting rebuild parameters

The Rebuild Parameters menu option lets you enable or disable automatic rebuild operations, set the rebuild priority, and configure the controller for the auto hot spare feature.

Enabling/disabling auto rebuild

Whenever a hot spare is created, whether it is a global or dedicated spare (for the specific array), the automatic rebuild feature is enabled. However, there may be occasions where it is necessary to manually enable or disable this option.

When enabled, auto regeneration will begin the rebuild cycle when a fault tolerant array is configured, a hot spare drive is available, and a drive fault occurs.

To enable or disable auto rebuild:

1 From the Main Menu select Configuration Menu, then press ENTER. The Configuration Menu opens.
