Getting a disk to "fail-back" on a HSZ50 raid mirror.

Hello,
        On our HSZ50 device one of our raid set has just two disk drives, one
mirroring the other. One of these disk drives failed and the HSZ
successfully failed-over to one of our spare drives and now has a spare
drive in that raid set.

        Now the failed drive has been replaced and reinstalled in the storage unit.
It has been added & initialized so the HSZ now sees it, my question is this:

        How do I get the HSZ to fail-back to the original drive?

All the documentation recommends installing the drive and adding it to the
spare set. We don't want to do that. We took care to try and spread data
across the buses and trays to evenly distribute our data and we don't want
to loose that distribution. Is there and easy way to get that replaced drive
back into the original raid set that it was taken out of?

Thanks,
Jim Fitzmaurice
