Replace Failed Hard Drive DD640
Is there any special steps to taking when replacing a failed hard drive on DD640 or is it just pull and replace?
I all ready have a replacement disk. The failed disk is enclosure 1 disk 8
A spare drive did become "in use" once the other drive failed.
Thanks

mkeil has a great series of steps to follow. Pay close attention to the last step (disk unfail enclosure.disk), as many customers don't check to ensure a disk has been added as a spare.

Verify if the disk is in failed state (disk show state), if not mark it as failed (disk fail enclosure.disk).
Pull out the old disk, wait 1-2 minutes and put in the new disk.
Check if the system detects the new disk (disk show hardware), if not run a "disk rescan" and wait some time.
Check the state of the new disk (disk show state), if it is markes as failed unfail it (disk unfail enclosure.disk).
Hope that helps.
