Disk Drive Location
On an IBM x3250m2 server, Disk drive 0 is located in the left slot as you
face the front of the server. Disk drive 1 is located in the right slot.
On an IBM x3650 server, Disk drive 0 is located in the upper slot as you
face the front of the server. Disk drive 1 is located in the lower slot.
On a 3Com V6000 server, Disk drive0 is located in the left slot as you face
the back of the server. Disk drive 1 is located in the right slot.
To replace a failed RAID disk:
1 Shut down the server on which the disk failure has occurred.
2 Remove and discard the failed disk drive.
3 If the failed disk was drive 0, you must move the disk that is in the drive 1
slot to the drive 0 slot. Otherwise, skip this step.
CAUTION: The working disk drive must be located in the drive 0 slot
prior to starting the server. If you leave the working disk in the drive 1 slot
and insert the replacement disk in the drive 0 slot, the server cannot be
properly started.
4 Insert a replacement disk into the drive 1 slot.
The replacement disk can be larger than the failed disk. Any additional
storage space on the replacement disk will not be used, however.
5 Restart the server.
