Degraded freenas drive, what do I do?

It looks like last night one of my drives degraded and has a 'faulted' status. How do I go about finding and replacing said drive?

Makes me sad as I've only had this server running for a week :(

Go into storage, select the pool that is degraded and click on "volume status" on the bottom of the screen.

This will show you which HDDs are still connected and which dropped out of the pool.

 

If you need to find out the serial numbers of the drives, click on "View Disks" on the main storage page. In a best case scenario, you put a slot info or something into the description before hand to make identifying a drive easier.

 

Once you have pulled and replaced the defective drive (if it was defective), go to storage page again, select the pool and click on volume status again. Now click on the missing HDD info and click on replace at the bottom. You can then select the replacement drive and resilvering should begin.
