Server Hard Drive
Can I replace a SCSI hard drive in a server computer while it's turned on?
How long will it take to rebuild?
It's a Dell Poweredge 6600 with a RAID and I'm replacing a hard drive that died. Everything is working fine but I want to replace the hard drive anyway and let the RAID rebuild.
If the drive is dead in the array than the system is either...
A. Running on a backup mirror configured drive.
B. The drive is part of the RAID that is non essential to basic function
Raid Arrays in Mirror are usually designed to be hot swapped to be easily maintainable so yes this would be fine and probably easy if the storage rack offers hot swap bays.
If this is a 0+1 configuration you should still be able to swap the discs however rebuilding the striped volumes will likely take longer so make sure cooling isn't the reason the one died.
