*important* Hot pluggable drives (purple button)? Boot the system.

IF the array is RAID 5, you will get a message at boot: Press F1 to continue with Automatic recovery or press F2 to fail volumes.

If you fail the volumes, the operating system will not boot (because you told it to fail the volume -which means it is offline). You want to "Continue with automatic recovery".

When the system is up and running, pull the drive with the red light. Wait 5 minutes. Put in the new drive and make sure the green arrow starts flashing at approx 1 sec intervals (this means the array is rebuilding).


The SCSI ID is set by the slot, not the drive. Don't worry about SCSI IDs, because the array controller will look after all of that. Just make sure the array controller can see the drive.
