How to Remove a StorEdge D1000 Disk Drive

Use this procedure to remove a disk drive from a StorEdge D1000 disk array. Perform the steps in this procedure in conjunction with the procedures in Sun Cluster 3.0 System Administration Guide and your server hardware manual.

For conceptual information on quorum, quorum devices, global devices, and device IDs, see Sun Cluster 3.0 Concepts.

1. Determine if the disk drive you want to remove is a quorum device.

   # scstat -q

   If the disk drive you want to remove is a quorum device, remove the quorum device before you proceed. Otherwise, proceed to Step 2.

   Refer to Sun Cluster 3.0 System Administration Guide for procedures on removing a quorum device and putting a quorum device into maintenance state.

2. If possible, back up the metadevice or volume.

   For more information, see your Solstice DiskSuite or VERITAS Volume Manager documentation.

3. Perform volume management administration to remove the disk drive from the configuration.

   For more information, see your Solstice DiskSuite or VERITAS Volume Manager documentation.

4. Identify the disk drive that needs to be removed and the slot that the disk drive needs to be removed from.

   If the disk error message reports the drive problem by DID, use the scdidadm -l command to determine the Solaris device name.

   # scdidadm -l deviceID # cfgadm -al

5. Remove the disk drive.

   For more information, see the documentation that shipped with the disk array.

6. On all nodes, remove references to the disk drive.

   # cfgadm -c unconfigure cN::dsk/cNtXdY # devfsadm -C # scdidadm -C
