Replacing a drive drawer in E5760 and E2860 shelves
The steps to replace a failed drive drawer in an E-Series E5760 controller shelf, E2860 controller shelf or a DE460C drive shelf
depend on whether the volumes in the drawer are protected by Drawer Loss Protection. If all volumes in the drive drawer are in
volume groups or disk pools that have Drawer Loss Protection, you can perform this procedure online. Otherwise, you must stop
all host I/O activity and power off the shelf before replacing the drive drawer.
This procedure applies to the following controller shelf and drive shelf:
•
E5760 controller shelf
•
E2860 controller shelf
•
DE460C drive shelf
Each of these 60-drive shelves has five drive drawers.
And each of the five drawers can hold up to 12 drives.
