When you rebuild a disk array, you are actually rebuilding the data on one physical drive.
If there is no spare drive of adequate capacity and the Auto Rebuild function is DISABLED, you must replace
the failed drive with an unconfigured physical drive, then perform a Manual Rebuild. See "Making Rebuild
Settings" on page 76.
Important
If your replacement disk drive was formerly part of a different disk array or logical drive, you
must clear the configuration data on the replacement drive before you use it. See "Clearing a
Stale or a PFA Condition" on page 90.
