If a drive is currently part of a redundant configuration and you want to use it in another configuration, you can use the MegaRAID Storage Manager commands to remove the drive from the first configuration and change the drive state to Unconfigured Good.
When a hot spare is available, the controller rebuilds the data on the virtual drive. You can now use the removed drive for another configuration. If the MegaRAID Storage Manager software detects that a drive in a virtual drive has failed, it makes the drive offline. If this happens, you must remove the drive and replace it. You cannot make the drive usable for another configuration by using the
Mark physical disk as missing and
Rescan commands.
