Important Guidelines for Replacing
Hot-Pluggable Hard Drives
Follow these guidelines when replacing drives configured for fault
tolerance on a HP Smart Array Controller:
Never remove more than one drive at a time.
When a drive is replaced, the controller uses data from the other
drives in the array to reconstruct data on the replacement drive.
If more than one drive is removed, a complete data set is not available
to reconstruct data on the replacement drives and permanent data loss
can occur.
Never remove a drive while another drive is being rebuilt.
A drives Online LED Indicators will be flashing green while it is
being rebuilt. A replaced drive is rebuilt from data stored on the
other drives. See the following figure.
Never turn a disk enclosure off while the initiator or controller is
powered on or active.
Doing so can cause the initiator or controller to mark the drives as
failed. This can result in permanent data loss.
If a drive is replaced while the system is Off, it may be necessary to
rebuild the replaced drive.
Follow the instructions on the screen or the instructions outlined in the
systems reference guide.
