Preparing A New Iop For Installation - HP NetServer AA 6200 Administrator's Manual

Preparing a New IOP for Installation

After removing the IOP from the Endurance server configuration, prepare the replacement IOP
for installation:
Step Action
1 Install any hardware for your IOP using
the procedures in
Netserver AA Solution Installation
Guide.
2 Decide which, if any, disks will be
transferred to the new IOP.
3 If you are installing and replacing
existing mirrored disks with new disks,
make sure that the new disk's
configuration is identical to the disk that
you are replacing (including the same
SCSI bus number and device ID).

Notes
When you install those disks, make sure that
their new configuration is identical to the
configuration that was used in the IOP that you
are replacing.
When using RAID controllers, you must
replicate the logical disk configuration in use on
the other IOP.
If using RAID0 hardware configurations, you
can replace a disk with one larger than its
counterpart in the other IOP. However, you will
not be able to use the excess capacity.
