Fibre Channel connections The storage server Fibre Channel consists of a host Fibre Channel loop and a drive Fibre Channel loop. The host Fibre Channel loop provides the fibre path for host attachment. It can consist of Fibre Channel cables, GBICs, host bus adapters, Fibre Channel switches, Fibre Channel managed hubs, and RAID controllers.

procedure that you must perform. In some cases (such as loss of redundancy in various components), the fault LED does not turn on. Only the storage-management software can detect the failure. ® For example, the recovery procedure for a Predictive Failure Analysis (PFA) flag (impending drive failure) on a drive varies depending on the drive status (hot spare, unassigned, RAID level, current logical drive status, and so on).

Replacing hot-swap drives Drive problems include any malfunctions that delay, interrupt, or prevent successful I/O activity between the hosts and the hard disk drives. This includes transmission problems between the host controllers, the RAID controllers, and the drives. This section explains how to replace a failed drive. Attention: Failure to replace the drives in their correct bays might result in loss of data.
(RAID 1, 3, or 5). You cannot use this method with any drives containing RAID 0 logical drives. Consider backing up your data if you use this method. This safeguards your data if the restoration and reconfiguration process fails or the new drive malfunctions. IBM FAStT200 and FAStT200 HA Storage Servers Installation and User’s Guide...
The method you use depends on the following considerations: • Which method most closely matches the recommended drive upgrade procedure that is provided in the operating system or the storage-management software documentation • Which RAID level is used on the affected drives (RAID 0 requires you to replace all the drives at the same time) •...
Use this procedure to replace all the drives one at a time. You cannot use this procedure on RAID 0 logical drives (use the procedure in “Replacing all drives at the same time” on page 43). IBM FAStT200 and FAStT200 HA Storage Servers Installation and User’s Guide...

Note: If your storage subsystem has hot spares assigned, you might want to unassign the hot spares while you perform this procedure. If you do not, reconstruction might start on the hot spare before you insert the new drive. The data on the new drive is still rebuilt, but the process takes longer for each drive.
