I have a server with a PERC 4e/Di RAID controller with a RAID 5 array. One of the 73GB drives failed so we replaced it with a 146GB drive of the same speed (knowing that it's only going to use 73GB of its space). However, the Dell OpenManage Administrator is showing the 146 drive as being in a degraded state. Could this be due to the fact that it's in an array with smaller drives?

I should mention that the array itself is in a "Ready" state.

I believe the array should be reporting 'online' if it is in a viable state. Can you actually access the data? If it is just the 146 reporting as 'Ready' then you probably just need to get into OpenManage and force the rebuild.

The array is in a ready state, the drive is in a degraded state.
