The Galaxy 65 Subsystem automatically reconstructs redundant arrays (RAID 3, RAID 4, RAID 5, RAID 

50, and mirrored) if an array becomes critical and a properly sized spare drive is available. An array 
becomes critical when one or more member drives fail. 

If a reconstruct does not start automatically, it means that no valid spares are available. To start a 
reconstruct, replace the failed drive, and add the new drive as a dedicated spare (see 

E.1.1, ”Adding a 

Dedicated Spare”, on page 168

 and 

E.2, ”Enabling Dynamic Spares”, on page 169

) or as a pool spare 

(see 

E.3.1, ”Adding a Spare to the Spare Pool”, on page 171

). Remember that any pool spares added 

might be used by any critical array, not necessarily the array you want.

You can expand array capacity without stopping I/O activity, so you can continue using the array while 
the expansion process runs. You can only expand one array at a time. 

1 Expanding an array here does not change the size of the host operating system partitions 

that reside on the array, because the RAID controller is working at the block level not the 
file system level of the operating system. To use the new space, you must create a new 
operating system partition using the newly added space or use a third-party application 
specific to the operating system to change the partition size.

2 How you create a new partition or resize an existing one depends upon the operating 

system. Most operating systems cannot resize an existing partition. Refer to your 
operating system documentation.
