As you can see, it didn't use /dev/sdah1, starting the RAID6 array with
one drive missing.

I can safely --add this drive or was there a reason it wasn't used?  I
also plan to add the spare (/dev/sdp1).

It would be prudent to remove /dev/sdah1 and use smartctl on a non LSI 
SAS controller or another machine, to check that it has not failed.

If not, prior to re adding it back, I would perform on fsck on the 
filesystem to make sure there are no errors.
