7.4  Changing the Array 

After you have created an array, you can delete or rebuild an array. 

Deleting an Array 

CAUTION: Deleting an existing disk array could result in data loss. Make sure to record all 
array information including the array type, the disk members, and stripe block size in case 
you need to undo a deletion. 

 

Deleting an array is not the same as deleting data from the drives. If you accidentally delete an 
array, before it is used again, the array can  normally be recovered by defining the array identical to 
the deleted array. 

1. 

Access the main menu (as described in section 7.2 steps 1 and 2) and select

Rebuilding a Mirrored Array 

If an error is detected in a mirrored disk array, an error message will appear on the screen during 
system startup. In this case, you can use the Rebuild function to recover from an error. 

CAUTION:  Drives must be replaced if they are physically damaged. 

 

1.  During startup, when an error message appears on the screen indicating a failed drive, press 

+

 to access the FastBuild Utility main menu.  

2.  Select 

 to view the array. 

3.  Select the failed array to identify its Channel ID. 

4.  Turn off the system. 

5.  Replace the failed drive with an identical model (see page 16 for information).
