Rebuilding data on a replacement disk drive using Linux
Use this procedure to rebuild data on the replacement disk drive.
To rebuild data on the replacement disk drive, complete the steps below.
For an unprotected disk drive
If the disk drive you are replacing is in a RAID Level 0 disk array or in a failed RAID Level 5 or RAID
Level 10 disk array, perform these tasks:
1. Re-create the disk array.
2. Re-create the file systems on the disk array.
3. Copy the data back to the restored disk array from your backup media.
For information on these tasks, see the PCI-X SCSI RAID Controller Reference Guide for Linux. This guide is
available from the SCSI PCI Adapters Web page at http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/pseries/
v5r3/index.jsp?topic=/com.ibm.pseries.doc/hardware_docs/scsipciadapters.htm.
For a disk drive in a RAID Level 5 or RAID Level 10 disk array, select the appropriate procedure:
Fan
Use this procedure to service the fan.
You can service the fan concurrently (powered on) or non-concurrently (powered off). To service the fan
concurrently, go to step 1, otherwise go to step 2.
1.
The component will be serviced concurrently. Power should not be removed from the unit containing the FRU in the
location field above during this procedure. Go to step 3.
2.
The failing component will not be replaced concurrently. Power should be removed from the enclosure containing the
FRU in the location field above. If this enclosure is powered on, power it off now. Do not apply power to the
enclosure until directed to do so in this procedure.
