Re: Removing a failed drive permanently

And for the archieves - Disk models (may not be up to date):

030 - Unprotected or mirrored unit of a type not supported in HA controller 
parity set 
      (520-byte device).

050 - Unprotected or mirrored unit of a type supported in HA controller parity 
set membership
      (522-byte device). Data compression inactive

060 - Unprotected or mirrored unit of a type supported in HA controller parity 
set membership
      (522-byte device). Data compression active

070 - Non-parity unit of parity set (full capacity, 522-byte device). Data 
compression inactive

072 - Parity unit in parity set with 8 parity units (7/8 capacity, 522-byte 
device). Data
      compression inactive

074 - Parity unit in parity set with 4 parity units (3/4 capacity, 522-byte 
device). Data
      compression inactive.

080 - Non-parity unit of parity set (full capacity, 522-byte device). Data 
compression active

082 - Parity unit in parity set with 8 parity units (7/8 capacity, 522-byte 
device). Data
      compression active

If the drive is a model 070 then you can remove it from the ASP and then 
from the RAID set and then from the system. If it's any other 07x number 
then you need to remove it from the ASP, then end RAID, then remove it, 
then restart RAID.

I have replaced a failed drive with a new drive before but I'd like to 
pull one that I have no intention of replacing.  The system is at only 
20% and losing a 8GB drive will make virtually no difference in overall 
capacity (this is a seldom used test/development system).

Once I pull the failed drive, what do I run so that the RAID set "knows" 
that the drive won't replaced and that it has to rebuild the "lost" 
drive using the remaining drives in the set?
