Introduction

Automatic Rebuild On Replacement

Adaptec RAID controllers support a feature known as Automatic rebuild on replacement. This may be useful in the event of a drive failure if no hot spare is available and the failing drive is in an SES or SAF-TE enabled drive enclosure.

When this feature is enabled (default) a rebuild of any redundant array that the failed drive was a member of will be triggered automatically by simply removing the failure drive and replacing it with a new drive.

SCSI Devices Supported

In addition to SCSI hard disk drives, Adaptec RAID controllers support a wide range of SCSI devices, from CD-ROMs and tape drives to scanners and removable media drives.

Supported Controllers

The majority of this chapter and all the other documentation supplied with your controller describes the capabilities of the RAID controllers listed in the left column of Table 1-2. Adaptec Storage Manager-Browser Edition also supports other Adaptec RAID controllers provided the RAID management software supplied with those cards, Adaptec Storage Manager or Adaptec Storage Manager Pro is already installed on the system.
