b) Grab the frame beneath the touch point and gently push the drive carrier assembly into the drive
bay until the carrier handle engages.
c) Press the release handle downward until the release latch connects with the release catch and the
drive carrier assembly locks into place.
d) Ensure that the drive carrier assembly is properly installed fully inside the drive bay so that it is
flush with the face of the enclosure.
e) Ensure that the LED indicators are at the bottom of the drive.
5. After the drive is replaced, run the following command:
mmvdisk pdisk replace –-rg <rg name> --pdisk <pdisk name>
For example, finish replacing pdisk e2s11 with the new physical disk by running the following
command:
# mmvdisk pdisk replace --recovery-group BB01L --pdisk e2s11
mmvdisk:
mmvdisk: Preparing a new pdisk for use may take many minutes.
mmvdisk:
mmvdisk: The following pdisks will be formatted on node ess01io1:
mmvdisk: /dev/sdrk
mmvdisk:
mmvdisk: Location SX32901810-11 is Enclosure 2 Drive 11.
mmvdisk: Pdisk e2s11 of RG BB01L successfully replaced.
mmvdisk: Carrier resumed.
Repeat the steps 2 through 5 for each pdisk that needs to be replaced as marked in the output
of the mmvdisk pdisk list --recovery-group {all | RgName[,RgName]} --replace
command.
Note:
You can also use the commandless disk replacement procedure. The commandless disk replacement
automates the process of replacing a failed or bad drive with a new drive.
To check whether the commandless disk replacement option is enabled, submit the following
command:
mmlsconfig | grep enableAutomaticDiskReplacement
The output appears as follows:
enableAutomaticDiskReplacement no
In this case, commandless disk replacement is not enabled. To enable commandless disk
replacement, submit the following command:
mmchconfig enableAutomaticDiskReplacement=yes -i
