4: Using the RAID Controller
Note: The priority of rebuild activity can be adjusted using the controller parameters to
adjust the Rebuild and check consistency rate.
In order to use the automatic rebuild feature, you must maintain an online spare disk
drive in the system. The number of online spare disk drives in a system is limited only
by the maximum number of disk drives available on each drive channel. SGI
recommends creating an online spare disk drive as part of the original configuration, or
soon after creating the original configuration. If the online spare disk drive is created
after a disk drive failure has occurred, the automatic rebuild does not start until the
controllers have been reset.
A disk drive may be labeled as an online spare using the “create hot spare option” of the
TPM configuration utility.
The RAID controllers also support the ability to perform a hot swap disk drive
replacement while the system is online. A disk drive can be disconnected, removed, and
replaced with a different disk drive without taking the system offline.
Caution: System drives associated with a failed or removed disk drive become critical.
Failure or removal of another disk drive may result in data loss.
The automatic rebuild feature is dependent upon having an online spare disk drive
available or hot swapping the failed disk drive with a replacement drive. If these
conditions are not met, the automatic rebuild features does not operate transparently, or
without user intervention. Automatic rebuild will not start if an online spare is
configured after a disk drive has failed.
Note: A “ghost drive” is created when a disk drive fails, power is removed from the
system, the disk drive is replaced or a spare drive is added to the system, and power is
returned to the system. Automatic rebuild does not occur in this situation. Additionally,
the system does not recognize the replacement/spare disk drive and creates a ghost
drive in the same location as the failed disk drive. If the replacement/spare disk drive
was inserted into the same slot as the failed drive, the ghost drive appears in the first
available empty slot, beginning with channel 0, target 0. The ghost drive represents a
deleted, dead drive that still exists in the configuration and the replacement/spare disk
drive has a drive state of unconfigured. In order for the rebuild to occur, the
replacement/spare disk drive’s state must change from unconfigured to online spare.
