New Drives Attached to a Nytro Controller

When you insert a new drive onto a controller, if the inserted drive contains valid Serviceable Flash module metadata, its drive state is Unconfigured Good.

Automatic rebuilds always occur when the drive slot status changes, for example, when you insert a drive or remove a drive, so that a Commissioned Hotspare can be used.

(Rebuild starts only on Unconfigured Good drives.) After you set the drive state to Unconfigured Good, the drive state information always remains on the drive, and you can use the drive for configuration.

See Troubleshooting Information for more information about Serviceable Flash module and metadata. See Making a Drive Offline or Missing for the procedure to change a drive to the Unconfigured Good drive state.
