Hello,

Currently my company has Dell PowerEdge 2850 with RAID 1 which I noitced a blinking orange light is for HD in slot #1.  I checked the Server and found that the status for that hard drive as 'degraded'.  I went ahead and purchased a new hard drive to replace the drive in slot#1. 

What are the steps I need to perform the replace the degraded hard drive in RAID 1 settings? Do I just shut down the server, remove bad hard drive, place new hard drive in slot, and power the server on for the raid to rebuild on the new hard drive. OR I need to perform other tasks? I appreciate any help on this issue.

 

Thanks,

m
