G.11 Pausing I/O
Most drive enclosures allow you to remove and replace drives while FC disk channel activity continues.
However, you may still want to pause I/O if you are replacing more than one disk drive. The Hot Swap
Pause option suspends activity on all device channels used in the X24 Subsystem, thereby ensuring data
integrity on the connected drives and arrays.
Caution Pausing I/O halts active I/O to the host.
Note If you are not sure that your enclosure supports hot swapping, use the Hot Swap Pause option before
you remove or replace any drives in an array.
To pause I/O:
1 From the System Menu, select Utilities Menu and press Enter.
The Utilities Menu displays.
2 Select Hot Swap Pause and press Enter
The Bus Paused screen displays.
