Hi, Could you provide any additional info on how your raidset is configured (raid levels, disk assignments etc), and what you did in what order (moved raidset to a new machine - while turned on/off - disks one by one or at the same time). (the following answer assumes you're using my check_smartarray script from http://soren.klintrup.dk/proliant/ - output is similiar). A status of rebuilding indicates that the raid controller is rebuilding mirror/checksum data, during this process you should not perform any additional changes to the raidset (exceptions can apply), this will return to a status of "ok" after some time (this can take hours or days depending on disk sizes and raid levels). My guess would be that drive bays 0, 1, 2 and 3 is configured in a raid5 with a hotspare, and the system is currently rebuilding disks 0, 1 and 3, with disk 2 either being flagged as a new hotspare or tray/bay is broken. But for now wait until the rebuild is done to avoid data loss.
