I currently have a Dell Poweredge 2950 running ESXi 5.5. My datastore is four drives in RAID 5 configured in the PERC 6/i config utility on bootup.
My question is, what do I do if/when one of these drives fail? Do I just pop it out and put in a replacement? Is there anything software wise I need to do? I've heard of Dell OpenManage but it looks like I cant install it without having a windows vcenter server, which wouldnt really make sense because I only have one ESXi server...
Any advice would be appreciated.
