By using H/W RAID, it's literally just a case of removing the dead drive and inserting the replacement. I've got a number of IBM and DELL boxes like this. it's just a pity they're not compatible with Linux so I can't monitor or manage them while the servers are running. The only way I know I have problems is by watching the LEDS
I don't understand the above - what's not compatible with Linux? We've got a ton, and if it's a Dell PERC/LSI, MegaRaid works just fine to monitor the drives.
