How to Remove a Disk Drive Using the
Hot-Plug Operation
The system's disk hot-plug feature enables you to remove a disk drive without
shutting down the operating system or turning off the system power. The way in
which you remove a disk drive depends on the application you are using and
whether you are replacing a drive, adding a new one, or removing a drive
permanently.
When you remove a drive using the hot-plug operation, you need to stop the disk
drive and take it offline to remove the logical software links to the disk drive, and to
reconfigure the file systems so that they now ignore the removed drive. You may
also have to reconfigure your application software to operate without the removed
drive.
Use the luxadm software tool to remove a Sun Fire V490 server's internal disk drive
using the hot-plug operation. The following procedure describes the general steps
involved, but your specific device names may be different.
Caution – Do not hot-plug drives without the correct preparations. The system
supports hot-plugging disk drives, but there are software procedures that you must
perform before you remove or install any drive.
For more information, refer to Platform Notes: Using luxadm Software, which is
provided on the Solaris Software Supplement CD for the Solaris release you are
running.
Refer also to the luxadm(1M) man page.
