Hello In that scenario a rebuild should only occur automatically if you have a feature like copyback enabled. Copyback will copy the hot spare data to a replacement drive automatically and then set the hot spare back as a hot spare instead of a virtual disk member. I would not shutdown to replace drives unless I had to because the drives were cabled/not hot swap. It is best to do changes while the controller is online so that it can track changes. [URL] Thanks
I have T330 w/PERC H330 controller configured as a RAID 1 with a dedicated hot spare. One of the array member drives failed so the spare automatically became a member of the array. In my experience if I simply hot swap the failed drive it will trigger another rebuild of the array making the replacement drive a member.If I power down the system then switch out the failed drive will current array members remain as they are allowing me to designate the replacement drive as the hot spare thus avoiding another rebuild.Thanks.
T330 w/PERC H330 Am I correct in my thinking here?
