Repairing a storage system For instructions on repairing a storage system, see the "Repairing a Storage System" and the "Powering Off the Storage System" sections in the HP P4000 SAN Solution User Guide. RAID 10 disk replacement and rebuild behavior The RAID 10 configuration includes a single hot spare in bay 35. When a disk is removed or fails in a RAID 10 configuration, the hot spare automatically begins rebuilding. When the failed disk is replaced, the replacement disk begins rebuilding rather than becoming the hot spare. At that time, the disk in bay 35 transitions back to being a hot spare. This means that a simple disk replacement involves two rebuilds. 18 Maintaining the HP P4800 G2 solution
