Hi,
is there a way to rebuild an array using ssacli with a P410?
A failed disk has been replaced and now the array is not
rebuilding like it should:
Array A (SATA, Unused Space: 1 MB)
logicaldrive 1 (14.55 TB, RAID 1+0, Ready for Rebuild)
physicaldrive 1I:0:1 (port 1I:box 0:bay 1, SATA HDD, 4 TB, OK)
physicaldrive 1I:0:2 (port 1I:box 0:bay 2, SATA HDD, 4 TB, OK)
physicaldrive 1I:0:3 (port 1I:box 0:bay 3, SATA HDD, 4 TB, OK)
physicaldrive 1I:0:4 (port 1I:box 0:bay 4, SATA HDD, 8 TB, OK)
physicaldrive 2I:0:5 (port 2I:box 0:bay 5, SATA HDD, 4 TB, OK)
physicaldrive 2I:0:6 (port 2I:box 0:bay 6, SATA HDD, 4 TB, OK)
physicaldrive 2I:0:7 (port 2I:box 0:bay 7, SATA HDD, 4 TB, OK)
physicaldrive 2I:0:8 (port 2I:box 0:bay 8, SATA HDD, 4 TB, OK)
I'd expect the rebuild to start automatically after 1I:0:4 was replaced.
Is the new drive being larger than the old one (4-->8) causing issues?

Slot needs to be adjusted to your configuration. Kind regards Thomas -- Linux ... enjoy the ride!

I don't know if there are read errors, and if it's read errors, I think it would mean that these errors would have to affect just the disk which is mirroring the disk that failed, this being a RAID 1+0. But if the RAID is striped across all the disks, that could be any or all of them. The array is still in production and still works, so it should just rebuild. Now the plan is to use another 8TB disk once it arrives, make a new RAID 1 with the two new disks and copy the data over. The remaining 4TB disks can then be used to make a new array. Learn from this that it can be a bad idea to use a RAID 0 for backups and that least one generation of backups must be on redundant storage ...
