Configuring Your Controller > Setting the Auto-Rebuild Policy

Setting the Auto-Rebuild Policy
The Auto-Rebuild policy determines how the controller firmware will attempt to rebuild degraded units.
When Auto-Rebuild is disabled, only spares will be automatically used to rebuild degraded units. When Auto-Rebuild is enabled, the firmware will select drives to use for automatically rebuilding a degraded unit using the following priority order.

Enabling Auto-Rebuild allows you to add a drive to the controller and have it be available for a rebuild, without having to specify it as a spare.
With Auto-Rebuild enabled, if you accidentally disconnect a drive (causing the controller to see it as a failed drive) and then reconnect it, the controller will automatically try to use it again.
To enable Auto-Rebuild through 3DM2
1
Choose Management >> Controller Settings from the menu bar in 3DM2.
2
The page refreshes, and a message at the top confirms the change you have made.
