Replacing a failed drive in a 7200

[zzzzzxx1]

We have a failed drive in our 3par unit...

It looks like the drive of ours was brought offline on February 11th with a servicemag start command. Is there any reason to run the command again since its offline? What will a servicemag start command do to the drive now?

The magazine was successfully brought offline by a servicemag start command.
The command completed at Sun Feb 11 06:50:48 2018.
servicemag start -wait -pdid 51 – Succeeded

The info shows nothing on the drive when I do a showpd –space command

however when I do a showpd –c it shows some chunklets? But nothing in USED Failed or USED OK: Is this safe to remove and replace?

You have an auto servicemag start.  The next step is to replace the drive and then do "servicemag resume".

(Next time don't wait so long to replace.  :-)
