Reading the truenas guide it doesn’t specify a few things when replacing a failed disk.
I just wanted to clarify the process I need to perform:
-
set disk to offline in the GUI (I think truenas has already done this automatically as I got a notification the disk is offline after it failed and my pool degraded).
-
turn off server? Or just unplug the disk and plug in the replacement? I do not have them installed in hot swap bays, just old school caddys.
-
turn on server?
-
go to the offline disk in the GUI and select ‘replace’ and then select the new disk from the drop down…
-
it reslivers? And done.
Side point: do I need to do anything to a brand new disk before installing it into my pool? Any tests? Checks? Burn ins or anything?
