Abstract
Solutions for processing a redundant array of storage drives receiving a rebuilding request of a redundant array of storage drives. The redundant array has a first storage drive to be replaced. In response to no spare storage drive being available to logically replace the first storage drive, a second storage drive is identified, which is a source storage drive of a disk balance process being performed. A rebuilding of the redundant array is initiated by reconstructing data of the first storage drive on the second storage drive during the disk balance process.
