Removing And Replacing An Array - Sun Microsystems StorEdge S1 Array Installation And Maintenance Manual

Removing and Replacing an Array

These instructions are for removing a Sun StorEdge S1 array or another type of array
and replacing it with a Sun StorEdge S1 array. If replacing any other array than the
Sun StorEdge S1 array, refer to that array's documentation for additional
information about how to remove that array.
Note – If your host system supports hot-swap attaching and detaching of external
SCSI devices, do not power off your system. For example, if your host system is a
Netra ct 400 or 800 or similar server, you should not power off the system. Start the
removal of the server at Step 3.
1. Make note of the SCSI ID addresses assigned to the drives in the array that you
are going to remove.
2. Power off the host system, if necessary.
3. Power off the array.
See "To Power Off the Array" on page 82.
4. Disconnect the SCSI and power cables for the array that you are going to remove.
5. Remove the drives from the array.
See "Removing and Replacing a Disk Drive" on page 78.
6. Remove the array from the rack.
7. Install the new Sun StorEdge S1 array.
See Chapter 3.
