PROBLEM OVERVIEW:

Defective Hard Drive

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

The hard disk drives in the server are hot-pluggable, but this capability depends on how the hard drives are configured. To hot-plug a drive you must take the drive offline (prevent any applications from accessing it, and remove the logical software links to it) before you can safely remove it.
The following situations inhibit the ability to perform hot-plugging of a drive:

• The hard drive provides the operating system, and the operating system is not mirrored on another drive.
• The hard drive cannot be logically isolated from the online operations of the server.

If your drive falls into the conditions listed above, you must shut down the system before you replace the hard drive.

WHAT ACTION DOES THE ENGINEER NEED TO TAKE:


1. Press the green tabs on either side of the bezel and pull the bezel forward and down.
2. Identify the defective drive.
3. On the drive you plan to remove, push the latch release button to open the hard drive latch.
   Caution: On the drive you plan to remove, push the latch release button to open the hard drive latch.
4. Grasp the latch and pull the drive out of the drive slot.
5. Push new drive all the way.
6. Close the latch to lock the drive in place.
7. Close the front bezel


OBTAIN CUSTOMER ACCEPTANCE

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

The procedures that you perform at this point depend on how your data is configured. You might need to partition the drive, create file systems, load data from backups, or have the drive updated from a RAID configuration.
