I've got instances where the HDD was replaced when the unit was off and when the system was powered back it could not establish which HDDs were the good RAID and which one the new one. If you remove a drive when the system is up and running, the controller/sw will recognise the removed drive with no chance of mixing things up. That said, again, I don't know GDC's at all.  |  IP: Logged Mark Gulbrandsen Resident Trollmaster Posts: 16657 From: Music City Registered: Jun 99 posted 12-23-2014 09:28 AM                     Marco... The GDC PDSP hardware raid automatically recognizes the new drive and then rebuilds the raid using it. On older GDC servers with software raid you went in and removed the drive and then added the new one back in and let it rebuild. But I know what you mean, on some older raids the raid system has to know which drive is being removed in order not to loose whole raid configuration. On HP & Dell Raids one must go into the raid menu and remove a drive or remove a whole config or the raid still thinks the original drive or config is still in place. Mark  |  IP: Logged
