    Hi, our xserve has a degraded raid pair –

    What are my options? Can I simply remove the failed drive, add a new one to the mirror and it’ll all be ok? Can I do this whilst the server is online?

    Automatic rebuild is an option that is not turned on by default when creating a software raid.
    Either way, backup your data, pop a new drive in, open disk utility if it starts rebuilding automatically then good.
    If not select the raid volume select the raid tab and click rebuild.

    Just be prepared for rebuilding to take a loooooong time… I think it took my G5 (not Xserve) about 4 hours to rebuild a 500gb RAID Mirrored partition that was about 60% full…
