This section describes how to replace a disk drive. Disk drives are customer-replaceable (CRU).
A single disk failure does not cause a data failure when disks are configured in a RAID array volume (non-RAID 0). The failed disk can be safely removed and replaced. After replacement, the new disk will be rebuilt to re-establish full data redundancy.
If your REM supports the use of hot spares, the hot spare will be used to re-establish full data redundancy. The failed disk can be replaced and then configured as a new hot spare.
Caution - Possible data loss. You can remove a failed disk while its data is being rebuilt to a hot spare, but you must not insert a new disk in its place until the rebuild action is completed. While data is being rebuilt, the green LED on the remaining drives will blink slowly. The rebuild process can take a number of hours for large arrays. |
