[frey28]

kindly check the attachment.

I there any rebuild running?

# armrbld -p

[frey28]

nope.

# armrbld -p va7400
Rebuild status:
Vendor ID = HP
Product ID = A6189A
Rebuild progress = No rebuild in progress

Auto Rebuild is = ENABLED
Rebuild priority is = LOW

The array is not currently rebuilding.

First I would remove the disk with "init failed" status. Check again if a rebuild is running after this.

[frey28]

If i remove the init failed disk, and check rebuild process, after that, do i need to swap in back the faulty disk?

Dear Torsten,

"Once the rebuild has finished you have again the same space for hotspare - as long as there is enough space."

"as long as there is enough space" - what does you mean here? enough space for what? unallocated space or active spare space?

[Torsten.]

unallocated space, because this is used for hotspare.
