What to do next
If a hot-spare disk was available and kept your disk array
protected throughout the failure, no additional steps are required
because the hot spare has replaced the failed disk unit in the disk
array, and the newly installed disk is available to be configured
as a hot spare. If a hot spare rebuild was not initiated by the
controller, a rebuild needs to be initiated on the newly installed
disk.
