Monitoring Rebuilds

If a drive in a mirrored array (RAID 1 or RAID 1E) fails, MegaRAID Storage Manager software automatically rebuilds it on a hot spare drive.

A red circle to the right of the drive icon indicates that a drive has failed. A yellow circle appears by the icon of the virtual drive that uses this drive to show that the virtual drive is in a partially degraded state; the data is still safe, but data could be lost if another drive fails.

MegaRAID Storage Manager software allows you to monitor the progress of drive rebuilds in the Group Show Progress window. To open this window, select Group Operations >> Show Progress.

The Group Show Progress window displays a percent-complete indicator for drive rebuilds. Rebuilds may take a long time to complete and cannot be aborted. An up-arrow appears above the drive icon while it is being rebuilt.
