if you don't have a hot spare then i don't think auto-failover is configured
or meaningful as there is nothing to auto_failover to.  the controller doesn't
try to autofailover to nothing.

normally if you replace the failed drive with a replacement (that hasn't been
in use in a raid set before) it will automatically initialize and start rebuilding
onto it.

yes. sometimes you may have to do this when the controller gets a little
confused.. but if you are running on the 2.7-1 firmware it shouldn't.. i've
had a few minor issues with older firmware but none so far on the latest
rev (or in fact 2.7-0 as well)
