One of my RAID controllers is complaining about a harddrive failure:
-- Controller informations --
-- ID | Model
c0 | PERC 5/i Adapter
-- Arrays informations --
-- ID | Type | Size | Status | InProgress
c0u0 | RAID1 | 465G | Degraded | None
-- Disks informations
-- ID | Model | Status
c0u0p0 | S13TJ1KQ503996 SAMSUNG HD502IJ 1AA01110 | Failed
c0u0p1 | S13TJ1KQ503997 SAMSUNG HD502IJ 1AA01110 | Online, Spun Up
so it looks like I have to replace the first disc in this array. But before ordering a new one I wanted to ask what I have to take into consideration.
Can I just order a new harddisc with 500+GB? What happens if I put a larger disc in? And finally will the RAID controller simply rebuild the mirror on the new disc or do I have to start it manually?
