Removing A Hard Disk Drive - Sun Microsystems Netra CT Service Manual

7.1.1

Removing a Hard Disk Drive

Note – The instructions in this section do not cover unconfiguration procedures that
might be necessary if you are removing a hard disk drive that is under the control of
any disk management software, such as Volume Manager or Solstice DiskSuite. If
you are running disk management software on your system, refer to the
documentation that came with the disk management software for instructions on
releasing a hard disk drive from the control of the software before proceeding with
these instructions.
1. Log in to the server and get the attachment-point IDs for the hard disk drives
installed in your server.
As root, enter:
# cfgadm -a c#
where c# is the SCSI controller number for the drive that you want to remove. For
example, to list the attachment-point IDs for the first SCSI chain in the server, as
root, enter:
# cfgadm -a c0
You should get feedback similar to the following:
Ap_Id
c0
c0::dsk/c0t0d0
c0::dsk/c0t6d0
In the sample feedback above, the attachment-point ID for the upper hard disk drive
(HDD 0) is c0::dsk/c0t0d0 and attachment-point ID for the DVD drive is
c0::dsk/c0t6d0.
