Storage Drive Failure and RAID
■
The drive provides the operating system, and the operating system is not mirrored on
another drive.
■
The drive cannot be logically isolated from the online operations of the server.
■
The operating system does not support hot plug for the drive.
If any of these disk drive conditions are true, then you must shut down the system before you
replace the drive. See
“Powering Down the Server” on page 53
Note -
Replacing a drive does not require removing the server from a rack.

Storage Drive Failure and RAID
A single storage drive failure does not cause a data failure if the storage drives are configured
as a mirrored RAID 1 volume (optional). The storage drive can be removed, and when a new
storage drive is inserted, the contents are automatically rebuilt from the rest of the array with no
need to reconfigure the RAID parameters. If the replaced storage drive was configured as a hot-
spare, the new HDD is automatically configured as a new hot-spare.
For information about the implementation of RAID on this server, refer to
