IBM DS3400 – how replace a good disk

ibmstoragestorage-area-network

I've to replace all my disks with other bigger ones.
I read in the manual:

Never hot-swap a drive when its associated green activity LED is
flashing. Hot-swap a drive only when its associated amber status LED is lit and
not flashing

But how can i set my disks in fault state?

Always in the manual:

If you want to remove a hard disk drive that is not in a failed or bypass state,
always use the Storage Manager Client program either to place the drive in
a failed state or to place the array that is associated with the drive (or drives)
in an offline state before you remove the drive from the storage subsystem.

But in the SMC there's not a "button" to set a disk in fault mode!
can you help me?

Answering to your question about setting disks in fault state: the Storage Manager Client allows you to maually fail a disk. In the main menu, go to "Advanced" -> "Recovery" -> "Fail drive"
