Replacing the disk enclosure hard drive

You do not need to power down the storage blade; you can hot-swap disk drives. For general
instructions on replacing disk drives and ensuring data availability, see the HP StoreVirtual Storage
User Guide.
IMPORTANT:
CMC to turn on the drive LED so that you can physically identify the correct drive to replace (as
described in step 1).
1.
If the drive is still active, open the CMC, select Storage, and open the Disk Setup panel. If the
Safe To Remove column displays Yes, turn on the drive LED to locate the drive.
2.
Verify the disk drive has failed as follows:
The drive failure LED is lit.
The Alarm panel shows a failed drive.
3.
Generate the support bundle using the CMC. Right–click the storage system and select Export
Storage System Support Bundle.
4.
Remove the failed drive.
5.
Insert the replacement drive. When replacing a drive, ensure that the drive capacity is the
same or greater than the other drives in the disk enclosure. Installing a lower capacity drive
will prevent the RAID controller from rebuilding. Also ensure the drive type is the same. For
example, do not replace a SAS drive with a midline SAS drive.
The alarm clears and the RAID controller begins rebuilding. You can view the rebuild progress
in the hardware information in the CMC.
NOTE:
If there is more than one failed drive in the disk enclosure and the RAID Setup panel in
the CMC shows the RAID status as off, you must use the Repair Storage System feature after
replacing the failed drives and before adding the storage system to the management group or
cluster. See "Using Repair Storage System" in the HP StoreVirtual Storage User Guide or the HP
StoreVirtual Storage Online Help for more information.
