How to Delete Drive That is Missing From a RAID

Question

I had a RAID drive fail. I replaced the bad drive with a new one and, after some work, got it up and running. I want to delete the bad drive from the config. This is the latest listing:

AppleRAID sets (1 found)

I just noticed when pasting this, the status is still degraded. When I tried to remove it I got this error:

@ Yamadoshi (curt)| => sudo diskutil appleraid remove 1BAC60DD-CA77-444D-B4C4-BDAB73248240
Password:
Usage:  diskutil appleRAID remove MemberDeviceName|MemberUUID
    RAIDSetVolumePath|RAIDSetDeviceName|RAIDSetUUID
Remove a member or spare from an existing RAID set.
Ownership of the affected disks is required.
Example: diskutil AppleRAID remove disk2s4 /Volumes/RAID
     diskutil AppleRAID remove 11111111-2222-3333-4444-555555555555 disk5

How do I get rid of the missing drive? Do I have some other problem given the Degraded status?

Answer 1

The answer is, that you have to add the path to the Mounted volume at the end instead of the disk number. For example:

diskutil AppleRAID remove 11111111-2222-3333-4444-555555555555 /Volumes/MYMOUNTEDDISK/
