wow posting hard RAID questions here and not on actual
IBM forum,. why do that?
i can do HP or dell but not IBM
on dell R710 it is automatic raid 6 (8 drives) can fail 2 and run.
what raid hardware is it Ibm
What raid card there/
is this RAID 6?????? if not why not.
how big is each drive and now many,? drives
did you read the raid controller manual first, after all no 2 servers on earth work the same unless are EXACTLY the same.
fact key not told.
IF IT CAN DO HOT SWAP NEW DRIVER
IT CAN TAKE DAYS TO SELF REPAIR.
all the time production never ends only a tad slower,
the whole reason for that. no need disable the server.
why not get help here
2012 seems poor support now. 10 years later, IBM is that bad?

while the ServeRAID-5014 controller, which provides RAID-0/1/10/5/50 support (upgrade-able to
RAID-6/60) and includes 256GB of cache memory, is standard on 16-drive 2.5-inch models.
I have a m1015 here, that it cross loaded LSI rom too..
cheap to buy and easy to convert so know about it.

WHAT YOU DO find out what raid card is there
then get the IBM manual on it
the ask admin what raid is or run the RAID app and look first
free old manual is here
https://www.manua.ls/ibm/system-x-x3400-m3/manual
read the manual on our raid card first.
read it and now to do recovery.
system load out and CTO not told so answers will be endless.
