e) Ensure that the LED indicators are at the bottom of the drive.
5. After the drive is replaced, run the following command:
mmvdisk pdisk replace –-rg <rg name> --pdisk <pdisk name>
For example, finish replacing pdisk e2s11 with the new physical disk by running the following
command:
# mmvdisk pdisk replace --recovery-group BB01L --pdisk e2s11
mmvdisk:
mmvdisk: Preparing a new pdisk for use may take many minutes.
mmvdisk:
mmvdisk: The following pdisks will be formatted on node ess01io1:
mmvdisk: /dev/sdrk
mmvdisk:
mmvdisk: Location SX32901810-11 is Enclosure 2 Drive 11.
mmvdisk: Pdisk e2s11 of RG BB01L successfully replaced.
mmvdisk: Carrier resumed.
Repeat the steps 2 through 5 for each pdisk that needs to be replaced as marked in the output
of the mmvdisk pdisk list --recovery-group {all | RgName[,RgName]} --replace
command.
6. Run common system health check by using the SSR utility.
Use the mmvdisk command to check and confirm that no failed disk is reported.
