Caution – Drives should not be pulled out randomly. If the drive is active, you must stop that activity before removing the drive. This can be done without shutting down the operating system or powering off the MultiPack-FC unit. The Sun MultiPack-FC hardware supports hot-plugging drives, but there are software considerations that must be taken into account.
If the volumes are mirrored or RAID 5 protected, the drive can be replaced without taking the volume down. Otherwise all input/output to the drive must be stopped using the appropriate commands. Sun StorEdge MultiPack-FC Installation, Operation, and Service Manual • August 2000...
