Interesting. We must have different setups with our PERCs. Mine have
always auto rebuilt.

Sorry, not correct. When you replace a failed drive, the perc card
doesn't
know for certain that the new drive you're adding is meant to be a
replacement. For all it knows, you could coincidentally be adding
new disks
for a new VirtualDevice which already contains data, during the
failure
state of some other device. So it will not automatically resilver
(which
would be a permanently destructive process, applied to a disk which
is not
*certainly* meant for destruction).
You have to open the perc config interface, tell it this disk is a
replacement for the old disk (probably you're just saying "This disk
is the
new global hotspare") or else the new disk will sit there like a
bump on a
log. Doing nothing.
