llo binu Thomas,

First thing that you need to know is that it is not good to power down the MD3000i with failed drives and reinsert them as you can do that with the MD3000i up & running. Second is since you have one drive that is failed then you should replace that drive first & see if the virtual disk can rebuild 100% successfully if so then on the second drive that failed you can replace it once the first drive finishes rebuilding. Now did you have a hotspare drive configured in your MD3000i? Also with the virtual disk being failed if you replace the drive & it rebuilds then you should be able to get the virtual disk to come back to a degraded state. If you can get the virtual disk to a degraded state then you should be able to get it to an optimal state after the second drive replacement. Now you can use the revive command to see if you can get the virtual disk back online, but I would only do that if the virtual disk doesn’t go to a degraded state after the first drive has been replaced & has rebuilt 100%. Here is a link to the CLI guide & if you look on page 163 it explains how to run the command. ftp://ftp.dell.com/Manuals/all-products/esuprt_ser_stor_net/esuprt_powervault/powervault-md3000i_Reference%20Guide2_en-us.pdf
