A Rebuild does not work
A rebuild does not work in the following situations:
- The virtual disk is nonredundant—For example, a RAID 0 virtual disk cannot be rebuilt because RAID 0 does not provide data redundancy.
- There is no hot spare assigned to the virtual disk when the virtual disk is redundant, to rebuild it:
- Remove the failed physical disk and replace it. A rebuild automatically starts on the new disk.
- Assign a hot spare to the virtual disk and then perform a rebuild.
- You are attempting to rebuild onto a hot spare that is too small—Different controllers have different size requirements for hot spares.
- The hot spare has been unassigned from the virtual disk—When the hot spare is assigned to more than one virtual disk and is being used to rebuild a failed physical disk for another virtual disk. It occurs on some controllers.
- The virtual disk includes failed or corrupt physical disks—The situation may generate alert 2083. For information about alert messages, see the Dell OpenManage Message Reference Guide.
- When the rebuilt rate setting is low and the system is processing several operations, the rebuild may take an unusual amount of time to complete.
- The rebuild is canceled—Another user can cancel a rebuild that you have initiated.
