The correct process of replacing faulty hard drive on ProLiant ML150 Gen9

[HP_User_20]

Hi all,

There is a server HP ProLiant ML150 Gen9 with one disk that is part of RAID1/1+0 being predictable fault state.

What I did:

1. Shut down the server.

2. Pulled out the faulty disk.

3. Inserted a new disk (same size 4TB).

4. Powered on the server.

Eventually, I had the replacement disk being in Fault state.

Please correct me if I'm wrong but I though that the replacement disk being picked up by the RAID array automatically.

Did I miss something?

Hi,

Yes if the replacement disk is in good condition, it should rebuild automatically.

Here are some documents for your reference:
