We have a R710 with 8 drives. 1 array = drive 0 and 1 in a RAID 1. 2nd array = drives 2-7 in RAID 5. Lost drive 2 some days ago. Inserted a new equal size drive and it will NOT rebuild. I was instructed to mark the drive as a hot-spare and it should rebuild but it does not. In ctrl-r utility, you can not mark the drive anything but hot-spare. Cant force it online, force it offline or nothing! Should i not be able to while the server is running, remove the defunct drive and insert a replacement drive and it start to rebuild? How do i get this drive to rebuild?
