Why would I logically replace a drive?

Contributors netapp-jolieg

If a drive fails or you want to replace it for any other reason, and you have an unassigned drive in your storage array, you can logically replace the failed drive with the unassigned drive. If you do not have an unassigned drive, you can physically replace the drive instead.

The data from the original drive is copied or reconstructed onto the replacement drive.
