Remove a Drive
1.
Locate the drive that you want to remove.
a. See “Front Panel Components (Service)” on page 13 for the locations of the
drives in the server.
b. See “Determine Which Drive Is Faulty” on page 65 .

Cannot be logically isolated from the online operations of the server.
To shut down the drive, see “Power Off the Server (Oracle ILOM)” on page 52 and go to step 5.
3. Take the drive offline.
■ For a standard drive:
a.
At the Oracle Solaris prompt, list all drives in the device tree, including
drives that are not configured.

This command lists dynamically reconfigurable hardware resources and shows their
operational status. In this case, look for the status of the drive you plan to remove.
