Recovering a RAID 10 single-disk failure

When a single disk in a RAID 10 disk array fails, the disk array status changes to Degraded. The disk array remains functional because the data on the Failed disk is also stored on the other member of its mirrored pair.

When ever a disk fails, replace it as soon as possible. If a hot spare disk is available, the controller can rebuild the data on the disk automatically. If a hot spare disk is not available, you will need to replace the failed disk and then initiate a rebuild.

Complete the following steps to initiate a rebuild:

  1. Run the iprconfig utility by typing iprconfig.
  2. Select Work with disk unit recovery.
  3. Select Rebuild disk unit data.
  4. Select the disks you want to rebuild, then press Enter.
  5. To rebuild data, press Enter. If you do not want to rebuild data, type q to cancel.
    Attention: Data currently on the disk will be overwritten.
