Replacing a Disk Storage Module (non-concurrent procedure)
A Disk Storage Module (DSM) is an enclosure holding up to six disk drives.
Perform the following steps to non-concurrently replace a DSM.
About this task
Important: When installing disk drives in the replacement DSM, ensure that you
insert each drive in the same slot that it occupied in the previous DSM. If at least
one IBM BladeCenter SAS Connectivity Module is installed in the IBM BladeCenter
S chassis, the location of each drive is determined by the IBM BladeCenter SAS
Connectivity Module zoning configuration that you have selected for the IBM
BladeCenter S system. The RAID Controller reports any observed change in drive
position. Modifying the position of any drive can cause the system to disarm any
replacement detection mechanisms that may have been armed by a previous drive
failure or drive removal.
Procedure
1. From IBM Storage Configuration Manager, select BC-S SAS RAID Module >
Health > Active Alerts to view active alerts associated with RAID devices.
2. Select any alerts associated with the DSM to display the alert details at the
bottom of the page.
3. Scroll down to the operator response and click Replace Disk Storage
Module(s).
4. Stop all host I/O applications and power off the host servers.
5. Use the Advanced Management Module to power off each RAID Controller.
a. Log into the Advanced Management Module.
b. Click I/O Module Tasks > Admin/Power/Restart.
c. Select the check box next to Bay 3 and Bay 4.
d. Select Power Off Module(s).
e. Click OK and wait until each RAID Controller is powered off. The word
Off is displayed in the Pwr column.
6. Before removing any drives, record the position of each drive in the DSM.
7. Remove each drive from the DSM.
a. Open the release handle on the disk drive (rotate the handle up) to
disengage the hard disk drive from the DSM.
b. Slide the hard disk drive out of the DSM.
8. Remove the DSM.
