Replacing a Drive Drawer in a 60-Drive Tray
The steps to replace a failed drive drawer in an E-Series 60-drive tray 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 tray
before replacing the drive drawer.
This procedure applies to the following controller-drive trays and expansion drive trays:
•
E2660 controller-drive tray
•
E2760 controller-drive tray
•
E5460 controller-drive tray
•
E5560 controller-drive tray
•
E5660 controller-drive tray
•
DE6600 drive tray
Each of these 60-drive trays has five drive drawers.
And each of the five drawers can hold up to 12 drives.
