DISPATCH INSTRUCTIONS
- WHAT SKILLS DOES THE ENGINEER NEED: Nothing beyond basic hardware and Solaris training.
- TIME ESTIMATE: 60 minutes
- TASK COMPLEXITY: 0

FIELD ENGINEER INSTRUCTIONS:
- PROBLEM OVERVIEW: How to Remove and Replace a X2100 M2 HDD
- WHAT STATE SHOULD THE SYSTEM BE IN TO BE READY TO PERFORM THE
RESOLUTION ACTIVITY?: The disk can be hot swapped with the OS running, as long as the disk is mirrored in software or unused. If not the server will need to be powered down
- WHAT ACTION DOES THE ENGINEER NEED TO TAKE:

1a. - If the disk is mirrored using Solaris Logical Volume Manager

If possible take a backup copy of the VTOC of the disk to file : prtvtoc /dev/dsk/cXtXdXs2 > /tmp/vtoc.out
remove the disk from the OS : cfgadm -c unconfigure cX::dsk/cXtXdX

1b.- Powering Off the server (if disk is not mirrored):

If the operating system (OS) is running, perform a shutdown of the OS, and then press and release the platform power button on the front panel.

2. Squeeze the release latch and carefully swing the arm to the left as far as it will go.

3. Grasp the carrier bezel with both hands and carefully pull the carrier out of the drive bay.

4. Install the new disk, Squeeze the release latch and carefully swing the arm to the left as far as it will go.

5. Grasping the body of the drive in both hands, carefully guide the connector end of the carrier into the drive bay, sliding the carrier into the bay until the arm engages and partially closes itself.

6. Push the arm forward and latch it to lock the carrier in place.

7a. If the disk was mirrored :

reconfigure the disk into the OS : cfgadm -c configure cX::dsk/cXtXdX
Repartition the disk using the previously saved VTOC : fmthard -s /tmp/vtoc.out /dev/rdsk/cXtXdXs2
Replace any filesystems showing as needs maintenance in the metastat output : metareplace -e dX cXtXdXsX (where dX is the top level mirror d number)

7b. If the disk was not mirrored, restore the data to the disk from a previous backup
