One of my customers has an ML370G5 server, and it has rebooted a few times of its own accord. Looking in the HP logs it seems one of the hard drives in the RAID5 array has had 3 hardware faults and requires replacing. The array has a spare configured but it seems the spare is only used when one of the drives actually fails. Is it a case I can just power off the server, take out the faulty drive. Then when the server reboots it will assign the spare as the missing drive and I can assign another new drive as a spare at my leisure?
