Installing the replacement hard drive
Prerequisites
Verify that you are observing all ESD safety precautions before unwrapping the new hard drive.
1. Lift the release lever and insert the new hard drive into the bay until the locking tab
engages.
2. Close the release lever to securely seat the hard drive in the bay.
3. Monitor the RAID rebuild of the new hard drive.
• For an MSS, on the Messaging Administration menu, under Server
Information , select Rebuild RAID Status . The RAID Rebuild Status page
shows the percent complete of the disk drive recovery.
• For an MAS, information event 1216 displays in the Windows Event Viewer
System Event Log when the failed drive is replaced. The MAS major alarm
is resolved, and a minor alarm is raised. When the RAID rebuild is
complete, information event 1200 displays in the Windows Event Viewer
System Event Log. The event description should give a status of
2
indicating that the drive is OK. The MAS minor alarm is resolved when event
1200 displays.
4. Verify that the hard drive failure alarm has resolved. For more information about
displaying active and resolved alarms, see the maintenance section of Avaya
Modular Messaging Help .
