Hammer & Screwdriver Rebuild RAID 1 from BIOS only option?
SCO UNIX 5.0.7, IBM x-series 235 w/ LSI controller. I can't for the life of me find any documentation for an OS level application, or an entry in scoadmin to rebuild the array or even find logs within the OS.

Is my only option to rebuild the array from the BIOS tool before boot up?

There is nothing that was supplied by SCO. There may be a utility on the software that came with the controller, that you would have to install. Unfortunately the lsi website is down.
Doing a rebuild while the system is running is somewhat of a trade off anyway. Users have to put up with poor response for 5 to 8 hours, compared to being down for maybe an hour if you rebuild using the RAID bios.

There is a command line program called megamgr that you can install if you have a Megaraid card. LSI also acquired Mylex.
