I have a unraid box with 6.9 running with 2 6tb  parity drives and 9 6 or 4 tb array drives.

One of the 4 tb drives failed and is disabled with many read failures.

I bought 10 TB drive to replace one of the parity drives then move it to the dead array drive.

 

What is the safest way of doing this ?

Can they be done at the same and is that safer than :

Moving the parity drive to replace the array drive and rebuild 

Then install new party drive .

One part of the instructions is missing or i missed it. 

 

Do not shutdown after the copy phase and before the rebuild disk part

 

I did that and i forgot or did not remember the copy phase. 

So i have to do the copy phase again ( 14 hours) on a 10 TB disk. 

 

I moved the drives physically in the system after the copy part.
