I have a 45Drives HL15 running TrueNAS Goldeye 25.10.0.1. I have a single pool with 15x 8TB drives in RAIDZ2 configuration. I see the VDEV listed as DEGRADED. Based on hard drive serial numbers, I have identified which drive in my HL15 is “removed” and which is “unavailable.” I’ve never dealt with a degraded VDEV before so I’m wanting to confirm what my next steps should be. Based on my understanding I should unplug the “unavailable” drive and plug it back in. Is this correct? What should happen next? Any troubleshooting steps for the drive in the HL15 that is listed as “removed?” Happy to share any other info that would be helpful.

The unavailable drive is in slot 9 of my HL15 and the removed drive is still physically seated in slot 12 of my HL15.
