IBM ServeRAID bad stripes and synchronize

After one of the drives in our IBM RAID gone, we bought a new one and replaced it.

The rebuilding went fine, but now we see “Bad stripes” reported for the logical disk.
Moreover, some data can not be read from the disk, and ServeRAID reports bad blocks.

CHKDSK just hangs on 22% of reading, closing it and re-running jumps to the 22% again.

Question – is it possible to resolve this situation by synchronizing the logical drive?
Or it better leave the CHKDSK running until it hopefully completes?

Also, what the synchronization actually does and can it heal bad stripes?

The server model is x3400, RAID is ServeRAID 8k-l.

Thanks!

Are you sure the new hard disk isn’t “DOA”?
