Replace A Pa-7000 Series Firewall Lpc Drive - PaloAlto Networks PA-7000 Series Hardware Reference Manual

Replace a PA-7000 Series Firewall LPC Drive

The Log Processing Card (LPC) contains four Advanced Mezzanine Cards (AMCs) used to house one 2.5"
SATA drive each. The first two drives (A1 and A2) are configured in a RAID 1 array and the second two
drives (B1 and B2) are configured in a second RAID 1 array. This configuration provides redundancy so if a
drive in a RAID 1 array fails there is no service interruption or loss of log data.
When ordering replacement drives from Palo Alto Networks or your reseller, you will receive
the AMC and the drive as a single unit. Do not attempt to replace the drive in the AMC with a
third-party drive. Also, do not mix drive models within a RAID 1 array (for example, the drive
model must be the same for both drives in the A1/A2 RAID 1 array). You can, however, mix
drive models in different RAID 1 arrays on the same LPC. For example, the drives in the A1/
A2 array can both be model ST91000640NS and the drives in the B1/B2 array can both be
model ST1000NX0423.
STEP 1 | Identify the failed drive and note the drive model by running the following operational
command and viewing the
admin@PA-7080> show
system raid detail
For example, the following output shows that drive A2 failed and the drive model is ST91000640NS.

STEP 2 | Put the provided ESD wrist strap on your wrist ensuring that the metal contact is touching your
skin. Then attach (snap) one end of the ground cable to the wrist strap and remove the alligator
clip from the banana clip on the other end of the ESD grounding cable. Plug the banana clip
end into one of the ESD ports located on the front of the chassis before handling ESD sensitive
hardware. For details on the ESD port location, see
Front Panel (AC).
STEP 3 | Remove the failed drive from the RAID 1 array. In this example, run the following command to
remove drive A2 from the array:
admin@PA-7080> request
system raid slot s7 remove A2
