Have a problem with a Compaq 2500 with a RAID5 array.
One of the drives in the array failed, and this was replaced with a new one. Normally the array would rebuild, but in insight manager the status is "Ready for Rebuild" and shows that there were errors on another disk a good few thousand service hours ago.
When I restart the server, I now get two options
F1 - Attempt Data Recovery
&
F2 - Continue without attempting data recovery
For now, I have selected F2 and the server starts up fine, but the array still won't rebuild.
Am I right in thinking that option 1 will force the array to rebuild?
