Full Discussion: RAID 10 Failed Drive Swap
Operating Systems AIX RAID 10 Failed Drive Swap Post 302884662 by mpeter05 on Tuesday 21st of January 2014 08:59:43 AM
Old 01-21-2014
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
