Steps for performing a Simulated Drive Failure/Replacement

Fix

1. Remove the Bezel from the front of the Brick in question.
2. Press the button on each ejector tab to unlock the tabs.
3. Lift each ejector tab at the same time to disengage the Brick bezel from the rack mounts.
4. Carefully rotate the top of the bezel outward and, as the latches disengage, lift the bezel slightly to disengage the bottom of the bezel.
5. Set the bezel aside.
6. Unseat the drive in question around 2 inches out
7. Press the cam latch button on the face of the disk drive carrier to release the cam latch
8. Open the cam latch fully.
9. Slide the disk drive for only 2 inches out of the chassis while still in its slot.
10. Wait for an Administrator Action on the Axiom GUI indicating a Drive Pull. Confirm that the drive is in a Missing state.
11. Wait for 1 minute before re-inserting the drive back into its slot.
12. Fully open the cam latch on the replacement disk drive and slide the drive into the Brick chassis until it snaps into place.
13. If a disk drive is not fully seated, either or both of the following will be true:
14. The metal portion of the carrier will be visible.
15. The front of the disk drive carrier will not be flush with the other carriers
16. Close the cam latch until it snaps shut to engage the disk drive with the Brick midplane. Result: The center LED should flash green for up to one min.
17. Choose one of the following options:
18. If prompted to acknowledge the successful discovery of the disk drive replacement, click OK to accept the disk drive.
19. If the replacement is not new, Guided Maintenance displays a dialog box that contains the prompt  Are you sure you want to do this?T Choose one:
20. Click OK to accept the replacement. Acceptance binds this disk drive to this Brick and destroys any data that may have existed on the disk drive.
21. Note: When you click OK, the system copies the data from the spare disk drive back to the array disk drive. The status of this disk drive is Copying Back and the spare disk drive remains in use during this period. Under some circumstances, if there are two failed disk drives in the Brick, the new disk drive may go to a Rebuild status indicating that the array is being rebuilt from parity.
22. Click Cancel to reject the replacement. Rejection terminates this procedure and retains any previous data that might have existed on the disk drive.
23. Important! If you reject the disk drive, you cannot use it in this system again.
24. Place back the Brick Bezel on the same Brick. Note: Ensure that there is no interference at the top and bottom of the bezel so it seats properly.
25. Insert the bottom two hooks on the bezel into the bottom rack rail tabs.
26. Press the top corners of the Brick bezel to engage the top two bezel hooks with the top rail tabs.
