PowerEdge 2650/aacraid: how to initiate failover and replace disk?

Hi,

I could use some help for this: one of the disks in my PowerEdge 2650
with Perc3/Di is failing, and I'm getting a replacement disk later
today.  What I need to do now is initiate a failover to the hot spare
disk, and then power off the failing disk in order to replace it.  (No
downtime is my goal, as you can imagine.)

So my question, how do I initiate a failover (from ID 2, which is
failing, to my configured hot spare)?  And then, how do I power off the
disk 2 in order to remove it?

I imagine something along the lines of
afacli
open afa0
disk blink 2
enclusure prepare 2

Thanks for any hints you might be giving,
	Alex


My config: Debian 3.0, kernel 2.4.20, 5x 73GB (1 hot spare, RAID-5 for
the other 4), aacraid driver.
