Drive problems include
any malfunctions that delay, interrupt, or prevent
successful I/O activity between the hosts and the hard disk
drives in the expansion unit. This includes transmission
problems between the host controllers, the ESM boards,
and the drives. This section explains how to replace a
failed drive.
Attention
Failure to replace the drives in their correct bays might
result in loss of data. If you are replacing a drive that
is part of a RAID level 1 or RAID level 5 logical drive,
ensure that you install the replacement drive in the
correct bay.
Check the hardware and software documentation provided
with your system to see if there are restrictions regarding
hard disk drive configurations. Some system Fibre
Channel (FC) configurations might not allow mixing
different drive capacities or types within an array.
1. Determine the location of the drive that you want to
remove.
Attention
Never hot swap a drive CRU when its green
Activity LED is flashing. Hot swap a drive CRU
only when its amber Fault LED is completely on
and not flashing or when the drive is inactive with
the green Activity LED completely on and not
flashing.
