Remember that you can not boot from an empty disk.

The GOS resites on every disk which is in the snap server they use the 2.partition for mirroring the gos on each disk, and the 5.partition for swap the user part or the raid will generate on the 4.partition by the user.

If you change now one disk , do not use the first , best way is plug in the new disk as the last position ex. disk 4, wait about 10min or you can see if the GOS is moved on by looking into the file /proc/mdstat if you connected via putty to the snap

after that you can plugin the new disk on position 0 and boot the server from it, remember to start a fresh install after replacing all 4 disks.

how to do a fresh install you need to search here in the forum to find that link.
