Chapter 7 Server Administration 145
Unlike other hot-pluggable devices, you can install or remove a power supply or fan
tray while the system is operating at the
ok
prompt. However, in the case of the
power supply, you must issue a
reset-all
command at the
ok
prompt in order for
the change to be recognized the next time the operating system is booted.
Note – If you remove a power supply or fan tray while the operating system is
running, wait for an acknowledgement message on the system console before
installing a replacement part; otherwise, the environmental monitoring software will
not recognize the new device and false error conditions will result.
Caution – When hot-swapping a redundant fan tray, do not put your hand into the
empty fan tray bay. The fans in the populated bay are still spinning.

Disk Drives
Sun Fire 880 internal disk drives are hot-pluggable. However, certain software
preparations are required. To perform Sun Fire 880 disk drive hot-plug operations,
you use the Solaris
luxadm
utility. The
luxadm
utility is a command-line tool for
managing intelligent storage arrays such as Sun StorEdge A5x00 series disk arrays
or Sun Fire 880 internal storage arrays. For more information on
luxadm
, see “About
the Solaris
luxadm
Utility” on page 156. For complete disk hot-plug procedures,
refer to Platform Notes: Using luxadm Software , available on the Solaris on Sun
Hardware AnswerBook . This AnswerBook documentation is provided on the Sun
Computer Systems Supplement CD for your specific Solaris release.
Caution –
When hot-plugging a disk drive, after disconnecting the drive from its
backplane, allow 30 seconds or so for the drive to spin down completely before
removing it from its drive bay.
