Solution

PROBLEM OVERVIEW: Disk Fault

WHAT STATE SHOULD THE SYSTEM BE IN TO BE READY TO PERFORM THE RESOLUTION ACTIVITY? :

The operating system should be configured by the customer such that the disk drive is free for replacement.
e.g. The disk may be part of Solaris Volume Manager, Veritas Volume Manager, mounted file-system, raw partitions, etc.
A data backup may be required to restore data onto a replaced disk.
If a data backup is not required it is still a wise precaution.

WHAT ACTION DOES THE CUSTOMER NEED TO TAKE:

Follow standard ESD procedures to avoid Electrostatic Discharge

1. Unconfigure the hard drive that you intend to remove. e.g.

# cfgadm -la

# cfgadm -c unconfigure c1::dsk/c1t1d0

2 .Verify that the device is now unconfigured. e.g.

# cfgadm -la

3. Confirm that the hard drive you want to remove from the server is no longer visible to the operating system. e.g.

# format

4. The drive blue LED should now be lit

5. Open front bezel on the server.

6. Slide the catch to the right, remove the drive

7. Slide the catch to the right, install the new drive.

8. Push the metal level until the HDD clicks in place.

9. Close the front bezel.

10. Configure the newly installed hard drive e.g.
# cfgadm -la

# cfgadm -c configure c1::dsk/c1t1d0

11. Confirm that the drive is now connected and configured. e.g.

# cfgadm -la

WHAT ACTION DOES THE CUSTOMER NEED TO TAKE TO RETURN the SYSTEM TO AN OPERATIONAL STATE:

Reconfigure disk as previously configured. e.g. Part of raid set or mounted file-system or raw partition or other.
