Replacing a Hard Disk

If a hard disk fails, it must be replaced with a new hard disk as soon as possible. The following
explains the procedure for replacing a hard disk.
For replacement, use a hard disk of the same model (with the same capacity and
speed) as the disk that has failed as a rule.
If the onboard SCSI array controller for this server configures the disk array, it is possible to replace a
hard disk without turning off the server.
1
Check the channel and ID of the failed hard disk using Disk Drive
Information of GAM.
For more details, refer to "4.5.3 Viewing Hard Disk Information" ( pg.43).
If the logical drive is being rebuilt, wait until the process completes.
2
Locate the failed hard disk using its ID and channel checked by
GAM.
Also, make sure that the Fault LED corresponding to the failed hard disk is lit.
3
Pull out the plastic lever 90 degrees towards you, and also pull out
the failed hard disk unit 1 to 3cm to disconnect it from the SCSI
bus.
Do not pull out the hard disk unit completely from the server at this point.
4
Wait 1 minute or more.
5
Pull out the failed hard disk from the hard disk bay.
6
Install a new hard disk in the hard disk bay where the failed hard
disk was previously installed.
7
Double-click the Critical logical drive (marked with ! in yellow) in
the [Controller View] window of GAM.
The [Logical Drive Information] window appears.
8
Click [Rebuild].
Rebuild starts. When rebuilding is started, the Fault LED of the replaced hard disk that was lit
starts to blink, and turns off after rebuilding is completed.
After its completion, make sure that the status of the logical drive has changed from
"Critical" to "OnLine" using [Logical Drive Information] of GAM.
