[SOLVED]Red Ball + replace 2 disks including parity

[dandirk]

I just received 2 3TB WD reds... The plan was to replace the parity, then add the second.

 

So I checked the server, and a data drive was red balled (750GB).  SMART tests passed.  I can directly access the disk (tower\disk#) as well which I thought odd.  I rebooted the server and still redball.

 

How I can replace the red balled drive, but this would make it the largest drive and thus parity which I assume would  mess stuff up.  If I replace the parity, then the red ball drive might not create parity properly etc...

 

What can I do if I don't have another smaller drive available?

Assign a new disk a parity and the parity disk to the failed disk slot. unRAID will know what to do.

Thanks it did seem to know what its doing, though I probably won't find out until later, waaay to much stuff:)
