Hi,
You have to include the disk manually!
If autoinclude is enabled, it includes the new disks automatically. Purposely used disks are not inlcuded automatically. The reason is once included the existing data is lost on the disk.
So, include the disk manually.

Try to use the command

armcfg -D M/D3 -a your_array_alias

to add the disk manually.
