The following presumes controller RAID and not OpenVMS host-based RAID.

Disk replacement details can vary by configuration; depending on 
whether there were already spares available in the shelf or not, etc.

Here are the available manuals for that series controller 
<http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/DocumentIndex.jsp?contentType=SupportManual&cc=us&taskId=135&prodSeriesId=433888&printver=true> 


Here's the service manual for the HSG80 controller 
<http://bizsupport2.austin.hp.com/bc/docs/support/SupportManual/c00309754/c00309754.pdf> 


The disk replacement sequences are documented in that service manual, 
starting on pages 83 and 94.

Also consider a discussion with your preferred used-equipment providers 
around an upgrade to a less-old fibre channel storage controller such 
as an MSA series controller, and preferably with some less-old disks, 
too.  The HSG80 series controllers are very old, and the disks 
typically connected with those controllers are typically low-capacity, 
and slow, and often hot.
