MSA 2000 drive replacement

[MrBungle72]

Hi there,

I have a drive in enclosure 0, slot 9 which has given a media read error but hasn't been marked as degraded or failed by the controller.  Drives are in a RAID5 config with online spare.  How can I remove this drive safely for replacement whilst online?

Or would you just leave it until it fails?

Whats best practice?

Many Thanks Guys

Is the MSA2000 just attached to a Smart Array controller in a server, or is it behind a (P2000 / MSA2xxx) SAN?

Thanks,
Mark...
