Adding or replacing a RAID drive
If your computer supports hot swapping (adding or replacing
a drive without turning off the computer), you can replace a
failed RAID drive with a working drive that is the same size
or larger than the other array drives. When you add or replace
a drive in an array, the array begins rebuilding the drive.
To replace a failed RAID drive:
•
Insert the new drive in the same drive slot as the failed
drive. Your new drive acts as a “hot spare” for the array.
Caution
Never remove an active drive from an array until it is placed in a failed
state or prepared for removal. For more information, see your RAID controller
documentation or the Array Manager User Guide.
