FIELD ENGINEER/ADMINISTRATOR INSTRUCTIONS:

PROBLEM OVERVIEW: A Sun Fire X4470 HDD needs replacement

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

1. Determine whether you can replace the disk drive using the hot-plug procedure or whether you need to power off the server and use the cold-swap procedure.
* A cold-swap is required if the disk drive:
o Contains the operating system, and the operating system is not mirrored on
another drive.
o Cannot be logically isolated from the online operations of the server.
2. Do one of the following:
1. To cold-swap the drive, power off the server.
2. To hot-plug the drive, take the drive offline. This removes the logical software links to the drive and prevents any applications from accessing it.

WHAT ACTION DOES THE ENGINEER NEED TO TAKE:

Removing and Installing Disk Drives and Disk Drive Filler Panels

1. Attach an antistatic wrist strap.
2. Identify the disk drive filler panel you want to remove. The amber Service Action Required LED on the drive might be lit.
3. On the disk drive filler panel you want to remove, push the release button to open the latch.
4. Grasp the latch and pull the filler panel out of the drive slot.

Caution – The latch is not an ejector. Do not bend it too far to the right. Doing so can damage the latch.

Remove a Disk Drive

1. On the drive you plan to remove, push the disk drive release button to open the latch.
2. Grasp the latch and pull the drive out of the drive slot.

Install a Disk Drive

1. Unpack the disk drive and place it on an antistatic mat.
2. Verify that the release lever on the disk drive is fully opened.
3. Slide the drive into the drive slot until it is fully seated.
4. Close the latch to lock the drive in place.
5. Do one of the following:
1. If you have cold-swapped the drive, restore power to the server.
2. If you have hot-plugged the drive, configure the disk drive.

OBTAIN CUSTOMER ACCEPTANCE

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

For hot plug, configure the drive and verify drive availability.
Use appropriate software commands to re-activate/re-sync mirror if manual intervention is required
