Replacing a Hard Drive
The hard disk drives in the server are hot-pluggable, but this capability depends on
how the hard drives are configured. To hot-plug a drive you must take the drive
offline (prevent any applications from accessing it, and remove the logical software
links to it) before you can safely remove it.
The following situations inhibit the ability to perform hot-plugging of a drive:
■
The hard drive provides the operating system, and the operating system is not
mirrored on another drive.
■
The hard drive cannot be logically isolated from the online operations of the
server.
If your drive falls into the conditions listed above, you must shut down the system
before you replace the hard drive. See
“Powering Off the Server” on page 28 .
Note – Replacing a hard drive does not require removing the server from a rack.
Nor does the procedure require removing the top cover of the server.
