    Dear Managers,

    We have a 5 year old RA 3000 Storage subsystem on an XP1000 with
    Digital UNIX V4.0G. For the first time, last Sunday there was a
    disk crashing. This disk was a member of a 6-disk RAID-5 system.
    The disk, a DS-RZ1FC-VW was replaced by a, according to HP, fully
    compatible DS-RZ1FC-SW disk. It is now on-line according to email
    notification and I can see it in the command console on a PC. I
    would then have expected that the RAID-5 system should rebuild
    automatically. It does not. The replacement disk is shown as
    belonging to no disk system.

    Can anybody help me with a hint of what should be done to make
    the replacement disk part of the RAID-5 system again without re-
    initializing the whole array?

    TIA,

    Bjorn
