Abstract
Provided are a computer program product, system, and method for recovering storage devices in a storage array having errors. A determination is made to replace a first storage device in a storage array with a second storage device. The storage array is rebuilt by including the second storage device in the storage array and removing the first storage device from the storage array resulting in a rebuilt storage array. The first storage device is recovered from errors that resulted in the determination to replace. Data is copied from the second storage device included in the rebuilt storage array to the first storage device. The recovered first storage device is swapped into the storage array to replace the second storage device in response to copying the data from the second storage device to the first storage device.
