4.3.6.2 Replacing 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 optionandclickonSubmit 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.
