The whole point of RAID is that the logical image of the damaged unit is
rebuilt on the fly. On most models, it can be hot swapped. It is that
easy.

Unit 1 in our four disk set (Raid5) failed. The IBM CE called and is
bringing a replacement, but I've got a question or two before he arrives.
First, isn't unit 1 where the load source lives?
Second, are there any special steps in the recovery because of that?
Third, he said it was hot swappable. (I'm still going to kick everyone
off of the system, though.) Is it really that easy?
Thanks.
