Continuous operation during replacement

Your hardware or software enclosure management application determines the capability for replacing a failed disk
without the loss of access to any file system on the enclosure. Enclosure access and use during this period is
uninterrupted. If an enclosure is equipped with redundant PCMs or PSU, sufficient power is provided to the system while
the faulty module is replaced.
NOTE: 5005/4005 Series enclosures support hot-plug replacement of redundant controller modules, power supplies,
and expansion modules. Hot-add replacement of expansion enclosures is also supported.

Firmware updates

After installing the hardware and powering on the storage system components for the first time, verify that the controller
modules, expansion modules, and disk drives are using the current firmware release. Periodically, you should ensure that
the firmware versions used in enclosure modules are compatible. Also see
