    I have an A1000 under control of RaidManager 6, set up for RAID 5, with 12 disks
    on one LUN. Both one of the 11 data disks *and* the hotspare have failed.

    I replaced the hotspare with a new disk, thinking it would automagically become
    active and take over for the other failed disk. RaidManager showed the LUN
    being reconstructed after installing the new disk, but now shows the hotspare in
    "standby" status.

    LUN is still showing its status as "degraded," with 10 good disks and one failed
    one.

    How do I make the current hotspare take over? Just pull the bad one?
