Hi,  If the drive to be replaced has failed and shows REMOVED then the data on the Hot Spare is being built from whatever RAID protection you are using & so can be replaced. As you indicated, the rebuild will complete to the HS then the copy process will be started to the new replacement.  Regards, ASE Jody Hearn
Hey, I have a question.  This clariion (CX4-240) disk faulted, and now this is rebulding to hotspare. It is so slow to rebuild for hotspare. If I replace the removed disk, is it okay with the storage system?  I think, rebuilding for hotspare will go on. After rebulding for hotspare, equalizing will be stared for the replaced disk. Is it right?  I will wait you guys reply. Thank you.
if replace faulted disk before rebuilding to hotspare?
