I have a 3ware RAID controller running a RAID-10.

I have a disk that currently has a SMART-FAILURE. I've ran a /c0 rescan and the Status will change to OK then back to SMART-FAILURE

I've done some research on how to replace a disk but can't find any documentation that I've found doesn't go into how to replace the disk with a spare unit.

How do I replace the p8 disk with the u3 unit?

    I removed the p8 disk and the u3 unit started rebuilding itself. It happens automatically.
