Offline Array Recovery Procedures
SuperTrak SX6000 and UltraTrak
This document describes the procedures for protecting data and restoring array status to
arrays that have gone OFFLINE. Promise Array products report several conditions during
operation. OFFLINE is the most serious. However, many OFFLINE conditions can be
corrected and the data on the disk drives may be preserved.
Below is a chart of the various array conditions and their meanings.
Array Condition Meaning
Functional Online and ready for use.
Synchronizing The process of verifying data integrity by recalculating
redundant data and matching the data on the disk drives.
Rebuilding The process of reconstructing an array in critical mode by
placing redundant data on a replacement disk drive.
Critical Degraded array condition due to a failed or removed disk
drive. Fault tolerance is lost but the data is still accessible.
Triggers Rebuilding.
Offline Degraded array condition due to two failed or removed disk
drives. Fault tolerance is lost. The data is not accessible.
User intervention is required.
Disk Drive Condition Meaning
Functional Online and ready for use.
Needs Rebuilding Disk drive failed. Causes Critical array condition and will
trigger Rebuilding. If this condition repeats, remove and test
the disk drive.
Disk drive removed. Causes Critical array condition. Will
trigger Rebuilding when installed.
Rebuilding The process of reconstructing data on a disk drive.
Arrays are composed of disk drives. A disk drive failure causes an array failure. The
Promise RAID controller automatically initiates Rebuilding as corrective action. When a
hot spare drive is available, the hot spare will replace the failed drive. If a hot spare drive
is not available, the RAID controller will attempt to rebuild the array by rebuilding the
failed disk drive.
If the RAID controller successfully rebuilds the failed disk drive, the array will be
restored to FUNCTIONAL status. If the RAID controller repeatedly attempts to rebuild the
same disk drive, user intervention is required to remove that drive for testing and possible
replacement. The first section of this document, Notification and Diagnosis, deals with
this issue.
