Monitoring Rebuilds
If a physical disk in a mirrored array (RAID 1 or RAID 1E) fails, MegaRAID Storage Manager software automatically rebuilds it on a hot spare disk.
You can tell that a disk drive has failed if a red circle appears to the right of the disk icon:
. A small yellow circle also appears by the icon of the virtual disk that uses this physical disk:
. This means that the virtual disk is in a degraded state; the data is still safe, but data could be lost if another disk fails.
MegaRAID Storage Manager software allows you to monitor the progress of disk 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 disk rebuilds. Rebuilds may take a long time to complete and cannot be aborted. An up-arrow appears above the disk icon while it is being rebuilt.
