Nah... this probably won't work. HP Smart Array controllers store the array metadata on the drive. But perhaps during the failure, the logical drive was faulted entirely.

A single disk failure should not cause data loss, unless the array was configured in RAID 1.

Was this array configured in RAID 10?

If so... well, the data is gone. If not, try powering the server off and removing the power cables. Let it sit for a few minutes, then plug them back in.

Follow the system's boot prompts very carefully, as you may be asked whether to enable or disable the logical drive. You will likely want to press F2 at this prompt. See if this works...
