how to force drive online

[Naidu Bollineni]

Interestingly I see in the VD Mgmt screen the "hysical Disks" shows
01:00 which is running and the next one is "Missing", as if there is no
drive found. It is the PD Mgmt screen that shows 01:01 being ready.

If you've gotten into this state then you need to assign the drive as a
hotspare to the existing VD and then it will automatically rebuild.

Hi,

I have a drive pulled out accidentally on my 1950, and the RAID-1 is now
running in degraded mode. I pushed the drive back, and the Megaraid-SAS
BIOS reports the drive is in "ready" state, but I didn't find any way to
force it online and sync with the running drive.

Thanks,
