PROBLEM OVERVIEW: Hard Disk

OBTAIN CUSTOMER ACCEPTANCE

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 FIELD ENGINEER/CUSTOMER ADMINISTRATOR NEED TO TAKE:

Removing a Hard Drive

If you are removing a hard drive while the operating system is still running, you must remove the drive logically from the operating system before physically removing it from the server.

Follow standard ESD procedures to avoid Electrostatic Discharge

1. Open the bezel.

2. Locate the hard drive to be removed.
The hard drives are located at the front of the chassis, on the right side. The top drive is HDD1; the bottom drive is HDD0.

3. If the server is powered off, go to Step 5.

4. If the server is powered on:

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

# cfgadm -la

# cfgadm -c unconfigure c1::dsk/c1t1d0

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

# cfgadm -la

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

# format

5. Press the drive button to release the drive latch.

6. Pull firmly on the drive latch to slide the drive out of the drive bay.

7. Set the drive aside on an antistatic mat.

Installing a Hard Drive

1. Open the bezel.

2. Locate where the hard drive is to be installed.
The hard drives are located at the front of the chassis, on the right side. The top drive is HDD1; the bottom drive is HDD0.

3. Remove the replacement hard drive from its shipping container and antistatic packaging.

4. Press the drive button to release the drive latch. The latch opens.

5. Orient the hard drive with the drive latch towards you and the label facing up.

6. Gently slide the drive into the drive bay by pressing on the area between the drive button and the drive status LEDs.

7. Press the drive latch closed.

If you are installing a hard drive in a server that is powered off, see “Powering On the Server” on page 20 to power the server back on. The server recognizes the new hard drive once it has completely booted up.
If you are installing a hard drive in a server that is powered on, continue with these procedures so that your server recognizes the new hard drive.

8. Configure the newly installed hard drive e.g.

# cfgadm -la

# cfgadm -c configure c1::dsk/c1t1d0

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

# cfgadm -la

# format

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.
