Pull the disk, insert a new disk and check with saconfig/sautil.

Ooops, I didn't see "windows".

However, change the disk and check with ACU.

Hi Azam,

the P400 will automatically rebuild the array when you remove the defective disk and insert a new one, this is a controller firmware feature and is independent of the OS running on that server.

In case the rebuild does not start automatically, then you can always start the ACU utility in Windows to see what's wrong i.e. but it should not be necessary under normal circumstances.
