Replacing a disk drive in the 8248-L4T, 8408-E8D, or 9109-RMD by
using the hot-spare function in an IBM i system or logical partition
You can use the hot-spare function to replace a disk drive in a system or expansion unit while the IBM i
operating system or logical partition that controls the disk drive location is powered on.
To complete this procedure, you must have already removed the failed drive. For instructions, see
“Removing a disk drive or solid-state drive by using the hot-spare function in an IBM i system or logical
partition from 8248-L4T, 8408-E8D, or 9109-RMD” on page 46.
