Mirror rebuilding when one of the disks has been removed, then reconnected
If
one disk containing a volume mirror is disconnected, mirroring is
interrupted. Reconnecting the same disk
causes the mirror to completely
rebuild. Once that same disk is reconnected to the media vault, a mirrored
volume will automatically begin rebuilding. You do not need to take any action
to force the rebuild to occur.
However, please be aware that while this rebuilding operation is taking place, your data is not protected
with a
redundant copy. Also be aware that the mirror rebuild may take many hours.
Mirror restoration when a disk (other than the SYSTEM disk) has failed
When
a disk (other than the SYSTEM disk) for a mirrored volume fails, the media vault
will raise a system
tray alert that warns you of the loss of data redundancy. To
restore the device to the same level of protection,
you must remove the failed
hard disk and replace it with a new, working disk. However, the device will not
presume that the new disk was attached to recreate the missing half. To re
-
establish a mirror, you must first
remove the mirror from the hard disk that failed (see
Remove a
Mirror
). Ensure that you do not
remove the
"good" half of the mirrored volume. Only remove the mirror
from the failed disk.
You must now go through the process of creating a new
mirror using the new hard disk. (See
Create a
Mirror
.)
