Disk Drive Replacement - Sun Microsystems StorEdge MultiPack Series User Manual

Disk Drive Replacement

The Sun StorEdge MultiPack disk drive unit is a customer serviceable disk enclosure
with removable disk modules. When coupled with high-availability software
solutions (such as Solstice™ DiskSuite™), the disk drives are hot-pluggable. The Sun
StorEdge MultiPack Storage Guide contains instructions for hot-plug replacement of
disks.
Drives should not be pulled out randomly. If there is activity on a drive, you must
stop that activity before removing the drive. You can do this without bringing down
the operating system or powering down the Sun StorEdge MultiPack unit. For more
details on hot-plugging, refer to the Sun StorEdge MultiPack Storage manual that
came with your unit.
A number of symptoms can indicate that a disk drive needs replacement. To
determine which drive is bad, refer to the system administration documentation
included in the AnswerBook online documentation that came with your system.
To Remove the Old Drive
1. Follow the procedure in the Sun StorEdge MultiPack Storage Guide to perform hot-
plug drive replacement for your application.
2. Unlock and remove the left side cover (
