Our StorEdge A1000 recently lost a drive. Luckily, we had set it up to use a
hot spare, and the spare took over, allowing the RAID to stay up and
functioning.
Sun is sending a replacement drive, which should be here in a day or two. My
question is, when said drive arrives, what is involved with replacing it?
The A1000 has hot-swappable SCSI drives, so we can definitely physically
replace the bad drive while the array is up. From what I am reading, once the
new drive is in there, we just need to unfail the drive (unless that is
automatic?), and the array should reconstruct the data.
We are using RAID Manager 6.22, and here is the output of drivutil -i
fd026_00:

drivutil succeeded!
If I am reading the man page right, all we should have to do after replacing
the failed drive ([1,1]) is to run the command:
drivutil -U 11 fd026_002
This should, according to the man page, unfail the drive and reconstruct the
data (we are running this as RAID 5).
If anyone has done this before, I would appreciate some feedback. Please do
tell me if I need to take the array offline, backup data, anything like that.
TIA,
