To remove the disk drive from the configuration without harming the data
on the virtual disk, follow these steps:
1.
In the left panel of the MegaRAID Storage Manager window, right-
click the icon of a disk drive in a redundant virtual disk.
2.
Select Make drive offline from the pop-up menu. The disk drive
status changes to Offline.
3.
Select File->Rescan. The disk drive status remains as Offline. At
this point, the data on this disk drive is no longer valid.
4.
If necessary, create a hotspare disk for the virtual disk from which
you removed the disk drive. (See
When a hotspare is available, the data on the virtual disk will be
rebuilt. You can now use the removed disk for another configuration.
Caution:
If MegaRAID Storage Manager software detects that a disk
drive in a virtual disk has failed, it makes the drive Offline.
If this happens, you must remove the disk drive and replace
it. You cannot make the drive usable for another
configuration by using the Rescan command.
