We had a drive go toes up a couple of months ago, Joe. I don't remember all of the steps, but the CE had to first use SST to remove the drive from the RAID set. Then, after replacing the drive, he had to add it back into the RAID set. at which point it took it about 30-45 minutes to balance things out.

There is probably something in the Hardware Information Center regarding the precise steps and options.

I know this is a simple task, but I just can't get it.

A disk drive failed on my model 270. I powered down, replaced the drive,
powered back up. However, the disk still reports as failed. With SST, I
was able to page through the disk and I even did an analyze surface and got
no errors. But it still shows up as failed.

Because it shows up as failed, it won't let me add the disk to the RAID set,
and thus I'm stuck.

It would seem to me that if the drive is bad, the analysis would have
failed, and if the drive is good it would show up as unconfigured, but I
guess I'm missing something. Is there another step I have to perform to
make that drive available? I hesitate to initialize it because I've never
needed to do that before.
