Servicing Hard Drives 81
Servicing Hard Drives
The storage devices in the server are hot-serviceable, meaning that the devices can be removed
and inserted while the server is powered on, depending on the state of the device and the
configuration of the data on that device.
A hard drive is hot-pluggable if the drive is in slot 1 to 7. The hard drive in slot 0 cannot be
removed without shutting down the server unless it is configured with an alternative I/O path.
Taking a drive offline prevents any applications from accessing it, and removes the logical
software links to it.
The following situations inhibit your ability to hot-service a drive:
■
If the drive contains the operating system, and the operating system is not mirrored on
another drive.
■
If the drive cannot be logically isolated from the online operations of the server.
If either of these conditions apply to the drive being serviced, you must take the server offline
(shut down the operating system) before you replace the drive.
For the location of the hard drives, see “Supported Storage Devices” on page 18 .
These topics describe service procedures for the hard drives in the server.
