confirm them by selecting Yes in the Confirm pop-up
window.

the new drive state. Select Yes to accept the new drive

Results of a Hard Disk Drive Failure
Depending on the circumstances, a drive failure can result in several
possible situations.
Scenario 1:
Only one hard disk drive fails.
A hot-spare drive is defined that is the same size or larger than
the failed drive.
The hot spare will take over immediately.
Note: Any logical drives with RAID level 0 are blocked during the
Rebuild process, and remain blocked until unblocked. The
ServeRAID configuration program automatically unblocks all
drives at the end of the rebuild operation.
