first be prepared using operating system commands to prevent
data loss and an operating system crash.
1.
Determine whether you can replace the storage drive using the hot-plug or hot-
swap procedure or whether you need to power off the server and use the cold-
swap procedure.
A cold-swap is required if the storage drive:
■
Contains the operating system, and the operating system is not mirrored on
another drive.
■
Cannot be logically isolated from the online operations of the server.
2.
Do one of the following:
■
To hot-plug a SAS drive:
a.

This removes the logical software links to the drive and prevents any applications
from accessing it. To take a storage drive offline, use OS-specific commands or the
HBA software (MegaRAID or StorCLI).
b.
Prepare the server for service.
