Thanks for the heads up.
This is an IIS box. But I will keep that in mind for next week when a
drive fails.

If it is a DB server, you may want to do the swap "out of hours" I have
seen Compaq servers (4500) "stall" a portion of the database on writes
whilst doing a rebuild (like a table or two as it rebuilding that part
of the DB.

I had several Compaq drives in Compaq servers that started showing the
yellow icon in Insight manager. Upgrading the firmware returned them
to
green status. Compaq wanted to try that before sending me a bunch of
new
drives on warranty. While I was at it I upgraded all the other stuff
that is in the 'RomPaq'.

Yea. What's up with that?
As I said, I have been running IBM servers for the last couple of years.
Never had a drive fail. Now I have had 3 drives fail (2 total failures
and one SMART warning) in Compaq servers in the last 3 months. None of
the boxes is over a year old.

I have a drive in one of my Proliants that has the SMART warning. I have
a replacement drive from them to swap in. This is a RAID5 drive on a
SmartArray controller.
I should just be able to pull the drive straight out and shove the new
on in right? Sorry for the dumb question. I just haven't worked with
Compaq in a couple of years. I know with my IBM's I could.
