We have a disk that has failed twice but has recovered. Can this disk be replaced pro-actively? I mean even though it has not failed completely? Or should it be failed forcefully first? If this is the case, how do i go about forcing it to fail?
thanks and best regards!

Re: replacing disks in MSA2000
Just make sure the other disks are in a valid RAID configuration before doing it, of course.
A tip: when you'll insert the new disk, you'll have to assign it as "hot spare" for the Virtual Disk it belongs to. If you don't do this, the reconstruction of the disk won't start automatically (as one would probably expect).

Re: replacing disks in MSA2000
so there's no other "more garceful" way to forcefully fail the disk? like in the management console or something? :)
If i enable Dynamic Spare Configuration in Manage -> General Config -> System Configuration, will it automatically rebuild w/o the need to add the new disk as a spare manually?

SolutionDynamic Spare Config is something that you plan and configure to PREVENT, but in this case you'll be physically there, so I'd just take out the broken one, check on the SMU console that the position became available, put in the new disk, check that it is recognized, and then assign it as spare.
If you put in the spare disk in a different position BEFORE taking out the broken one, and you enable dynamic spare, it will work anyway, but you'll have to keep the disks in those positions afterwards. It's your choice!
Cheers.
