Reactivating an Off-line Array

An array goes off-line if the power fails or if someone removes a sec-

ond disk when one has already been removed. To reactivate an off-

line array, follow these steps:

If the system has only one array, skip to step 2. Otherwise,

from the System menu select the array you want to reactivate.

The Main menu for that array appears.

From the Main menu, select

Reactivate Off-line A

rray

. A

prompt appears, asking you to confirm that you want to reacti-

vate the array.

Type y to reactivate the array, or n to cancel the operation.

Reactivating a Spare Disk

If a disk fails in an array that has spares, a spare is automatically

activated and the failed disk is marked Down. When you replace the

failed disk, the replacement disk becomes the new spare. To reacti-

vate the new spare, follow these steps:

If the system has only one array, skip to step 2. Otherwise,

from the System menu select the array containing the spare

you want to reactivate. The Main menu for that array appears.

From the Main menu, select

Reacti

vate Spare Disk

. A menu

lists the spares that are currently inactive.

Select the spare you want to reactivate. A prompt appears, ask-

ing you to confirm that you want to reactivate the spare.

Type y to reactivate the spare, or n to cancel the operation.
