Reconstructing A Physical Disk

If two or more physical disks in a disk group have failed, the virtual disk shows a status of Failed. All of the virtual disks in the disk group are no longer operating. To return the disk group to an Optimal status, you must replace the failed physical disks. After replacing the physical disks, reconstruct the data on physical disks. The reconstructed data is the data as it would appear on the failed physical disks.
To reconstruct a physical disk, run the following command: 
start physicalDisk [
                                    enclosureID,slotID] reconstruct
where, enclosureID and slotID are the identifiers for the physical disk.
  • NOTE: You can use this command only when the physical disk is assigned to a RAID 1, 5, or 6 disk group.
