HighPoint RAID Management 2.1.12.0419
Note 1: HighPoint RAID Management version 2.1.12.0419 includes a new feature called Recover.
Recover is recommended for us when the status of the RAID array is Disabled. Recover will attempt to resurrect the status of RAID array from Disabled to Normal.
Note 2: The Recover feature does not support partition based RAID arrays. Recover can only recover physical RAID, i.e. multiple HDD that are part of a single RAID array.
If the status of your RAID array is Critical you should replace the failed hard drive and attempt to rebuild the RAID array.
Release Date: May 04, 2012 v1.0
