PowerEdge 2650 "Missing Member"
I have a PowerEgde 2650 with 5 drives in a RAID 5. One of the drives crashed with the blinking amber light so I ordered a replacement through Dell. The PERC controller sees the drive but under the array configuration utility in the BIOS it still lists it as "missing member".
I have tried booting the server with the drive pulled out. After the RAID BIOS loads I tried inserting the drive. The drive went green but the array never rebuilt. A few times I got it to say "rebuilding" in the BIOS but after a while (less than 15 mins) the drive was back to flashing amber.
The server is running Fedora. This is what it displays in dmesg:

I installed afaapps-4.1-0.i386.rpm but when I run afacli this is what I get:

Command Error:
Does anyone have any tips? I'm about to wipe the array and start over but this doesn't build my confidence for the future.
