    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
