Before powering off any component for service, refer to the Deployment and User's Guide for the Oracle Database Appliance X9 series for any special instructions or commands that must be performed on the appliance to prepare it for service.
Database Appliance for Service. • Oracle Database Appliance X9-2 Server Hot-Pluggable Components Provides instructions on how to perform hot plug tasks on an Oracle Database Appliance server. • Oracle Database Appliance X9-2-HA Storage Shelf Hot Pluggable Components Perform hot plug tasks on an Oracle Database Appliance storage shelf.
Caution: An NVMe drive must first be powered off before removal. If you do not power off the NVMe drive before removal you can crash the operating system. Oracle Database Appliance uses special commands to remove or add NVMe storage.
• Adding NVMe Expansion Storage Add NVMe storage to an Oracle Database Appliance X9-2L. Note that the Oracle Database Appliance X9-2S does not support additional storage. Replacing an NVMe Storage Drive Replace a front-mounted NVMe drive in an Oracle Database Appliance X9-2S/X9-2L system.

It can take a few minutes for the power-on operation to complete. Once complete, the drive's green OK indicator will light. To check the status of the replacement disk, type the following command from the host: odaadmcli show disk For additional information, refer to the Oracle Database Appliance Deployment and User's Guide.
Repeat steps 1 - 3 for each new drive. For the Oracle Database Appliance X9-2L, the name for these drives to the host will be pd_02, pd_03, pd_04, etc., matching the numbering of their respective drive slots up to...
Any exceptions will be described in the following procedures. • Adding Optional Storage Shelf Drives (CRU) Add disk storage in an Oracle Database Appliance X9-2-HA storage shelf. • Replace a Storage Shelf HDD or SSD (CRU) Replace a storage disk in an Oracle Database Appliance storage shelf.
