1. If the Storage Manager Client is connected to a Data Collector, select a Storage Center from the Storage view.
2. Click the Hardware tab.
3. In the Hardware tab navigation pane, expand the enclosure and select Disks.
4. In the right pane, click the Disks subtab, then select the failed disk and click Replace Disk.
5. Locate the failed disk and click Next.
6. Follow the instructions to physically remove the failed disk from the enclosure. Click Next.
7. Insert the new disk into the enclosure, following all instructions. Click Next.
8. If the disk replacement succeeds, Storage Center confirms this. It also displays information about the new disk.
9. Click Finish to close the wizard.

 

As for your concerns about marking the drive as offline, the manual would call this process "releasing a disk." The process is detailed on page 264.
