Disk Drives
Caution –
Replace only one disk drive in a disk tray at a time to ensure that no data
is lost. Ensure that the disk drive is fully reenabled before replacing another disk
drive in the same disk tray.
The default configuration for the disk tray is to automatically spin up and reenable a
replaced disk drive, then automatically reconstruct the data from the parity or hot-
spare disk drives. Disk drive spinup takes about 30 seconds, and reconstruction of
the data on the disk drive can take up to one hour depending on system activity.
Note –
In some cases, if disk drives are removed and replaced on a powered-down
or incompletely booted disk tray, the internal system monitoring facilities may not
correctly detect the drive replacement. Therefore, replace disk drives on powered-
up, fully-booted disk trays only.
5.2.1.1
Disk Drive LEDs
The top of each disk drive has LEDs that indicate drive activity and status. For
information about the disk drive LEDs and how to interpret them to diagnose a
drive failure, see Section 4.1.4.1 “Disk Drive LEDs” on page 4-4.
Note –
Even if the LED indicates a drive failure, you should always verify the FRU
status using either the CLI or Component Manager before replacing the drive. Refer
to the Sun StorEdge T3 Disk Tray Administrator’s Guide or the Sun StorEdge Component
Manager User’s Guide for instructions.
