While adding 2 disks to a raid 5, an other disk failed. The "add" command in hpacucli completed to 100%, but I couldn't do a "modify size=max" afterwards anymore.
Current state is
"logicald drive status: Interim Recovery Mode"
=> ctrl slot=1 ld 1 show
Smart Array P411 in Slot 1

Array Type: Data
One of the drives on this array have failed or has been removed.
I tried to add spare disk, however it says: "Array is transforming"
=> ctrl slot=1 array A add spares=1E:1:11
Error: This operation is not supported with the current configuration. Use the
"show" command on devices to show additional details about the
configuration.
Reason: Array is transforming
"array is transforming" also occurs if i try to remove the failed disk using the hpacucli command.
I don't dare to simply pull out the broken drive and replace it with a new one at the current state. any hpacucli command isn't allowed, either because of "array is transforming" or because of "interim Recovery Mode".
=> version
ACU CLI Version: 9.40.12.0
SoulAPI Version: 6.2.25.0
InfoManager Version: 6.1-29.0
I would be glad about any hints how to replace the failed disk safely without breaking the data on the raid (currently working).
