Hi All,
I am getting numerous "Array disk warning. Command timeout on physical disk" alerts on a disk in our MD1000, although the disk reports failure predicted as NO...
Full Error:
Date:11/27/2013, Time:14:17:42, Severity:Warning, Message:Alert message ID: 2405, Array disk warning. Command timeout on physical disk, Controller 0, Connector 0, Physical Disk 0:0:8 [Event Code:2405]

Now for the noob questions - I've looked but can't find a satisfactory answer...
I presume my best option is to replace the disk (I have a replacement available), however as its part of a RAID 5 virtual disk and reporting as OK will I need to make the disk offline first before replacing?
If so, will this then trigger the use of the global hot spare or will it just allow me to replace the "faulty" drive with the new one and rebuild that in to the virtual disk?
Thanks for your help.
