Chapter 4 Replacing Hot-Swappable and Hot-Pluggable FRUs 4-9
4.5 Hot-Plugging a Hard Drive
The hard drives in the server are hot-pluggable, but this capability depends on how
the hard drives are configured. To hot-plug a drive you must be able to take the
drive offline (prevent any applications from accessing it, and remove the logical
software links to it) before you can safely remove it.
The following situations inhibit the ability to perform hot-plugging of a drive:
■
The hard drive provides the operating system, and the operating system is not
mirrored on another drive.
■
The hard drive cannot be logically isolated from the online operations of the
server
If your drive falls into these conditions, you must shut the system down before you
replace the hard drive. See
Section 5.1.2, “Shutting the System Down” on page 5-2 .
4.5.1 Removing a Hard Drive
