R310 Raid 5 - lost 1/3 discs

RAID 5 installation on a R310, disk 0 has failed and removed himself from the table, apparently (so now we have a 2 5 disk raid), has not been listed as part of it, so we had to replace and assign as a global hot spare, which built itself is OK and the VD is no longer marked as "degraded", but it will also replace disc 2 and I wanted to know the right way to add drive 0 back in the table not as a rescue, but as part of this drive?

We have OMSA and can provide screenshots.  I'm leaning toward "reconfigure the table" but I never dealt with this specific question

You said drive 0 rebuilt... so there is no need to change anything. It is not "once a spare drive, always a relief"... once she rebuilt, is more a relief, but Member participating fully in the table, which means that you no longer have a hot spare.

To replace the disc 2, force it offline (or are preparing to remove/replace, etc) first... If it does not rebuild automatically, then set it as a hot spare.

RECONFIGURE is completely different.
