Complete the checklist for replacing a disk in RAID 1+0, RAID 5, or RAID 6. Then follow the
appropriate procedures for the storage system.
Replace the disk
You may remove and replace a disk from these hot-swap storage systems after checking that the
Safe to Remove status indicates “Yes” for the drive to be replaced.
Physically replace the disk drive in the storage system
See the hardware documentation that came with your storage system for information about physically
replacing disk drives in the storage system. For hardware-specific document titles and document
links, see “Identifying the storage system hardware” (page 21).
RAID rebuilding
After the disk is replaced, RAID starts rebuilding on the replaced disk. There may be a delay of
up to a couple of minutes before you can see that RAID is rebuilding on the RAID Setup or Disk
Setup tabs.
