How do you do this?

Thanks Ulf.   The machine is stable again after reseating all the
cards for the third time.
Will the 6404 rebuild while the machine is running or is it necessary
to run SmartStart?

dmesg shows:
ciss1: *** Physical drive failure: SCSI port 1 ID 4
ciss1: *** State change, logical drive 1
ciss1: logical drive 1 (da1) changed status recovering->OK, spare status
       0x15<configured,failed,available>

Any idea how to translate this?
