4.3.6.2Replacing a Failed Drive

If a disk fails, it will eventually need to be replaced. If you need help physically locating the failed drive, select the Identify Drive option and click on Submit as indicated in Figure 4-17. This will cause activity on the failed drive giving you the opportunity to identify it by observing the activity light on the drive.

After replacing the failed drive with a new drive, any volume in degraded mode will use the new drive to replace its failed member following a reboot or bus scan. If you reinstall the same failed drive, it will not automatically be used to replace the failed member disk unless you manually mark it as normal.
