Virtual drive degraded with one physical drive no longer part of the array
I have dell t620 with a perc h710. It is configured raid five with 6 930g sas drives with a capacity of 4.5t.
A few days ago i saw on a reboot the there was a foreign config on the drives. as the os was booting properly i cleared the foreign config.
After hat I noticed that the virtual drive is in a degraded status. Drives 1-5 are online but drive 0 appears unassigned with a status of "ready". the only option the controller gives me is to set it up as a hot spare. I tried that and it set up that way but it wont integrate to the basic drive. How do I get it to reintegrate?
Although it's listed as a hot spare already, when I go to the idrac Job Q it looks like it's still scheduled and not running

Just note that there are two types of hot spares: Global and Dedicated. If you have multiple VD's across your disks, it will need to be a Global hot-spare.
If you only have a single VD configured, then your disk is probably bad and it can't initialize the rebuild.

I did it through OMSA Instead of idrac and appears to of started to rebuild
