I've inherited a Supermicro SMC2208 RAID. The root drive (on which the OS is installed) is two RAID1 mirrored Intel SSDSC2CW240A3 240GB drives ... one of which is reporting as bad.
Controller ID: 0 VD is now DEGRADED VD
1
Event ID:251
I'm not familiar with this RAID, and the manuals are not clear on this point. The disks used for data are obviously hot swappable, however the two disks holding the OS are in the back, and separate from the data disks backplane.
However, they appear as any normal "RAID 1 virtual disk" in the storcli output.

So I assume the bad disk can just be hot swapped out, and then it will rebuild the mirror once it's in place again.
Can anyone confirm this?
