:
This function is only for testing and could result in data loss. It
should not be used in normal operation.
The Down Drive function sets the status of a disk drive in a fault-
tolerant array to down. This forces the EF2800 to remove it from the
array and marks the array as critical. The downed disk drive is marked

take down any additional disk drives in the array.
If you have a properly sized dedicated or global spare, this will cause a
reconstruct on the affected array.
