Just a quick sanity check...

I have an AS800 with a single channel raid controller with 4 disks
attached. Disks are configured as a single member JBOD, and a 3 member
RAID5 set. One of the RAID5 members has started clocking lots of 'misc'
errors and a few 'soft' errors, it's on maintenance so I'm going to
replace it.

Current thinking is I can just replace the faulty drive, bring the system
back up, mark the new disk as optimal and let the system rebuild it
automatically, is this correct?

Thanks,

Simon
