Prerequisites
If possible, do a CMSADM backup before you add or replace a disk drive. See your CMS
software installation, maintenance, and troubleshooting document for this procedure.
Before you attempt to replace defective data (nonboot) disks, try to print the current setup for all
ACDs. This information must be readministered after you install replacement disks.
Disk drive compatibility with CMS loads
When a new or replacement disk drive is installed in an older system, the CMS load may not be
compatible with the disk drive if the CMS configuration files have not been updated. Two
configuration files (/olds/disk.conf and /olds/olds-funcs) must be edited or replaced
with the correct information. Contact the Avaya technical support organization for assistance.
Disk drive configurations
The computer supports a four-disk mirrored configuration. On only the V880, the configuration
can be expanded to six disks with a field upgrade. The Sun Fire V880 supports 73-GB disks and
the Sun Fire V890 supports 146-GB disks.
