MegaRAID Controller Alarm Still Active After VD Rebuild Completes
Copyback is enabled by default on MegaRAID controllers. If a hot spare is used for rebuild, the alarm will still be active after a rebuild until the Copyback procedure has completed.
The purpose of Copyback is to allow administrators to retain original slot configurations after rebuilding with hot spares.
The alarm will not deactivate until the Copyback procedure is complete.
