Update To The Latest Drivers And Firmware; Security Restrictions - HP AH226A - Smart Array E500/256MB Controller RAID Support Manual

After the disk is replaced, use sasmgr(1M) to configure the new disk as spare:
sasmgr add -D /dev/sasdX -q raid -q spare -q enc_bay=<enc>:<bay>
(where X is the instance of the SAS controller and <enc>:<bay> is the location of the disk
to be configured as spare).
• By default, RAID volumes are created with Auto-Configure enabled. If you replace a physical
disk which is part of a RAID volume, a re-sync will start automatically and all data on the
new disk will be lost. Do not insert a replacement disk unless you are sure that any existing
data has been backed up.

Update to the Latest Drivers and Firmware

Several important changes and updates have been released since the introduction of the HP 8
Internal Port SAS Controller. HP recommends that you update to the latest version of the
CommonIO and SerialSCSI-00 bundles. For more information, see the latest HP CommonIO Release
Notes and HP SerialSCSI-00 (sasd) Mass Storage Driver Release Notes, at:
