Just going to follow up with what I did in hopes it helps someone else who has this issue arise.

Use diag command to check array and find failed disk(s).

# diag
---> Task Selection
---> RAID Array Manager
---> PCI-X SCSI Disk Array Manager
---> List PCI-X SCSI Disk Array Configuration
---> sisioa1 Available 06-08 PCI-X Dual Channel U320 SCSI RAID

Activate the LED indicator of the physical disk to locate it on the rack.

# diag
---> Task Selection
---> Hot Plug Task
---> SCSI and SCSI RAID Hot Plug Manager
---> Replace/Remove a Device Attached to an SCSI Hot Swap Enclosure
---> select failed disk here(pdisk#)

A message will appear in regards to an LED and Remove state. Find the physical drive that is now flashing amber from its LED and remove it from the array. After you remove the failed physical drive, replace it with the new unit.
Hit Enter on that message screen to remove that slot from the "remove state".

# diag
---> Task Selection
---> Hot Plug Task
---> SCSI and SCSI RAID Hot Plug Manager
---> Configure Added/Replaced Devices

# diag
---> Task Selection
---> Log Repair Action (Select affected disk)

Rebuild the array

# diag
---> Task Selection
---> RAID Array Manager
---> PCI-X SCSI Disk Array Manager
---> Reconstruct a PCI-X SCSI Disk Array

RAID Drive

NAME

     ataraid -- software BIOS RAID

SYNOPSIS

     pseudo-device ataraid
     ld* at ataraid? vendtype ? unit ?

DESCRIPTION

     The ataraid driver provides support for BIOS-based software RAID controllers.  These are devices which have some simple support for several
     basic RAID levels (often RAID 0 and RAID 1), but which require software support to actually perform the RAID function.  The BIOS support is
     largely just to create and recognize the array so that it may be a boot device.

     The driver currently supports RAID formats from:
	   o   Adaptec HostRAID (found in Intel 6300ESB)
	   o   Intel MatrixRAID
	   o   JMicron RAID
	   o   nVidia MediaShield
	   o   Promise FastTrak
	   o   Via V-RAID (found in many VIA-based motherboards)

     Status of the logical disk as well as the disks associated with it, can be viewed through the bioctl(8) utility.

SEE ALSO

     ld(4), bioctl(8)

HISTORY

     The ataraid driver first appeared in NetBSD 2.0.

AUTHORS

     The ataraid driver was originally adapted from FreeBSD by Jason Thorpe <thorpej@NetBSD.org>.

BUGS

     Not all features of the software RAID are currently recognized or supported.  For example, the Adaptec support doesn't recognize when a RAID
     1 should be in a ``building'' state, and it does not do the right thing.

     At least part of the reason for this is that the publically-available information on these formats is quite limited.
