isi status How to replace an Isilon
Drive
isi devices -a smartfail -d [node number]:bay[put number here]

If you get an error like: 


!! The 'smartfail' action is invalid for a REPLACE drive/bay.
That means the drive is either dead or your command is invalid

  remove drive 1st then issue these commands:

 
isi devices -a add -d 8:6
 
<<<Now wait for it to initialize be very patient!!!!>>>

Issue this command only if your status does not look like this via the gui
"isi devices -a format -d 8:6"

If you get this error


!! The 'format' action is invalid for a PREPARING drive/bay.

That means you are NOT PATIENT, and you need to wait
