Maintaining and Managing the Storage Configurations : Rebuilding a Drive : New Drives Attached to a Controller

New Drives Attached to a Controller

When you insert a new drive on a controller and if the inserted drive does not contain valid Nytro 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 hot spare can be used.

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 (Rebuilds start on Unconfigured Good drives only).
