Thank you guys so much, I can't believe I never noticed that before in the GUI, also that scripting guide will be a major help.

Hi,<br />
Last week we had a drive die in our now out of warranty DS3400, it's in a raid 6 configuration and the hot spare is currently in use. we went up to the DC and switched the drive out of the DS3400 usually after a few minutes/hours depending how picky it's going to be the copy back starts. However this time it didn't we let it go all weekend hoping it would start the rebuild. normally I would call IBM and have them force the rebuild but as I said it is out of warranty and we will not be getting a renewal. I am also using this until we find a viable replacement.<br />
<br />
is there anyway I can tell the storage array to rebuild the array to the freshly inserted disk? all firmwares are up to date.

DS3400 Drive died, won't rebuild array to newly inserted drive

Computer data storage, often called storage or memory, is a technology consisting of computer components and recording media used to retain digital data. In addition to local storage devices like CD and DVD readers, hard drives and flash drives, solid state drives can hold enormous amounts of data in a very small device. Cloud services and other new forms of remote storage also add to the capacity of devices and their ability to access more data without building additional data storage into a device.

Storage

Hardware includes cell phones and other digital living devices, tablets, computers, servers, peripherals and components, printers and scanners, gaming consoles, networking hardware such as routers, hubs, switches and modems, storage devices and security equipment such as firewalls and other appliances.

Hardware

Storage devices include any device used for storing and retrieving digital information. Hard disk drives (HDDs) use one or more rigid ("hard") rapidly rotating disks (platters) coated with magnetic material. Data is accessed in a random-access manner, meaning that individual blocks of data can be stored or retrieved in any order and not only sequentially. The primary competing technology for secondary storage is flash memory in the form of solid-state drives (SSDs), but HDDs remain the dominant medium for secondary storage due to advantages in price per bit and per-device recording capacity. CD-RW (Compact Disc-ReWritable) is a digital optical disc storage format that allows information to be stored outside the mechanical HDD.
