    Note -  IMPORTANT: When the disk backplane is replaced, the key identity properties (KIP) of the disk backplane is programmed by Oracle ILOM to contain the same KIP as the other quorum member components. If you have removed other quorum member components, you might need to manually program the product serial number (PSN) into the new disk backplane. For more information, refer to FRU Key Identity Properties (KIP) Automated Update.
