#### RAID Drive Replacement Strategies

Follow the strategies described below when replacing a failed drive in a RAID volume.

RAID Volume Level | Strategy
--- | ---
RAID 0 | If a drive fails in a RAID 0 volume, you will lose all data on that volume. Replace the failed drive with a new drive of the same capacity, recreate the RAID 0 volume, and restore the data from a backup.
RAID 1 | Remove the failed drive and replace it with a new drive of the same capacity. The new drive will be automatically configured and synced with the RAID volume.
RAID 1E | Remove the failed drive and replace it with a new drive of the same capacity. The new drive will be automatically configured and synced with the RAID volume.

Note - The `cfgadm` instructions in the service manual are for individual drives that are not part of RAID volumes. When a drive is part of a RAID volume, you do not need to unconfigure it before hot swapping it with a new drive.
