2. Remove the disk from the system, and then, insert a new disk.
Please wait while the system to recognize the disk.
3. To restore the redundant configuration, run the "esxcli storage mpm add" command with RAID device
name and kernel device name specified.
Note
Synchronization may start automatically when a new disk is inserted.
In this case, restoration by running
add
command is not necessary.
4. Confirm that resync is started.
In the example below, it is shown that the progress ratio of synchronization is 51.6%, and 32.8 minutes is
required to complete synchronization. When the progress is no longer displayed and both kernel devices
show [in_sync], the synchronization is completed.
