Replace failed SAS drive

Replace failed SAS drive

Greetings,

I have finally run into a situation where a SAS drive failed, and the hot spare drive took over, as expected. The failed drive was replaced, and now I find myself in a situation where the replacement drive is marked as the new hot spare.

Is there a way to migrate the data back to the old drive, so that I can keep my system documentation the same? Also, the sasmgr phy=all listing still shows a reference to the missing/failed drive. I assume this can be cleaned up as well.

Here is what things looked like before the failure:

As you can see, it looks as if there is still a reference to the failed drive...how do I clean this up?

Thanks in advance,
