Hard disk drives are active/hot/cold replacement components.
Note – The hard disk drive will have a redundant configuration by setting the

according to the cold replacement procedure.

performed on the failed drive because the mirrored hard disk drive continues to be
online and functioning. The hard disk replacement procedure varies by the
mirroring configuration method. When it is configured with hardware RAID, see the
