Perform a cluster swap, replacing the storage systems with the worn out SSD drives with
storage systems with new SSD drives. See
“Upgrading the storage systems in a cluster using
cluster swap” (page 135)

If replacing the SSD drives due to the wear life remaining status, the Repair Storage
System feature is not available because there is not a disk failure, indicated by a disk inactive or
disk off event in the Events list.
