Some basic Array questions
2. If a controller dies, can it just be replaced or what needs to be done when it is replaced ?

Re: Some basic Array questions
Yes. It also means that you can take the drives and put them into another server or even on a newer Smart Array controller and as long as all the drives in the set are available, your data will be accessable.
"or is there something else I should do ?"
Only in certain instances would there be "something else" to do. For instance, if you need to take a 380G3 and put the drives into a 380G4... aside from making sure the drivers are up to day, you need to let the registry know about the Smart Array 6i by adding a registry entry. In your case, since you have NW6, it might not be necessary to anything else.

Re: Some basic Array questions
You should not need to factory default the controller. The configuration found on the drive takes priority over any configuration on the card. If you place the card into another server with drives, the card will just assume the new configuration from the drives.
Is there a way to do it? Perhaps with the command line utility, but I am unfamiliar with it at this point. I have not had o do it.
