HP smart array p400 RAID 1+0; two disks crashed

I am running a RAID 1+0 on a HP ProLiant DL360 G5 with 6 disks (each 146 GB).



The mirror groups looks as follows:






  • 146 GB 1-Port SAS Drive at Port 1l: Box1:Bay1

  • 146 GB 1-Port SAS Drive at Port 1l: Box1:Bay2

  • 0 GB 1-Port SAS Drive at Port 1l: Box1:Bay3







  • 146 GB 1-Port SAS Drive at Port 1l: Box1:Bay4

  • 146 GB 1-Port SAS Drive at Port 2l: Box1:Bay5

  • 0 GB 1-Port SAS Drive at Port 2l: Box1:Bay6




Unfortunately the disks in bay 3 and bay 6 are not working anymore (almost since the same time). Is there a chance to get the system back online again by replacing disk 3 + 6 by new ones?



* UPDATE *



It's a MS Server 2003 R2. I've got the information that the disks are broken from the HP smart start CD diagnostics tool. The following versions are in place:
* ACU Version 8.60.7.0
* Diagnostic Module Version 5.2.52.0
* INFOMGR Version 5.9-29.0



Server was already off (pressing power button) when people involved me. ROM/RAM firmware revision is 2.10
