Guidelines for Replacing Hot-Plug SCSI Hard Drives

You should be able to hot-plug a drive during normal activity. Be aware, however,
that replacing a hot-pluggable disk drive will affect system performance and fault
tolerance.
NOTE: Depending on your configuration, both a drive failure and the subsequent rebuild
process will cause storage subsystem performance degradation. For example, the
replacement of a single drive on an array with 50 logical drives will have less impact than if the
array has only 3 logical drives.
