drive as missing, first mark it as offline, then mark it as missing. When PdReplaceMissing
is run, the drive becomes offline, and Rebuild does not start automatocally. One has to
start it explicitly.
Follow these steps to replace the PD or retrieve the PD:
1. pdgetmissing (This command reports the array and the row number needed for
the next command).
2. pdreplacemissing (Input the array and row number here).
3. pdonline.
