Content Type: Troubleshooting   |   Article ID: 000024286   |   Last Reviewed: 05/27/2026

Environment

Operating System

Windows 7 family*, Windows 8 family*, Windows® 10 family, Windows Server 2008 family*, Windows Server 2012 family*

What am I seeing?
Your Intel® RSTe RAID array shows as "degraded" status, indicating one or more drives have failed or are no longer functioning properly. The system may still be operational but is at risk of data loss.

What environment does this issue affect?
All Intel® Server Systems based on Intel® RSTe

How to fix it
When an array that was created through the Intel® RSTe gets degraded, the only way to rebuild it is using the Intel® RSTe application for Windows* operating systems (OS).

Note If you want to know how to install the Intel® RSTe application, refer to the How to Monitor Intel® Rapid Storage Technology enterprise (Intel® RSTe) Volumes from Windows* Operating Systems page.

 

  1. Opening the Graphical User Interface (GUI) shows you that the array is degraded.
  2. Position the cursor over the defective drive to see in which port it is connected, and then replace it with a good one.

    Step two
  3. The rebuild starts automatically afterward.

    Step three

For more information, refer to the Auto Rebuild section (section 2.5.24) in Software User Guide for Intel® Rapid Storage Technology Enterprise (Intel® RSTe) for Windows.
