Sun Cluster 3.1 - 3.2 With Sun StorEdge 3510 or 3511 FC RAID Array Manual for Solaris OS

ProcedureHow to Replace a Disk Drive

Use this procedure to replace a failed disk drive in a storage array in a running cluster.

Before You Begin

This procedure provides the long forms of the Sun Cluster commands. Most commands also have short forms. Except for the forms of the command names, the commands are identical. For a list of the commands and their short forms, see Appendix A, Sun Cluster Object-Oriented Commands, in Sun Cluster 3.1 - 3.2 Hardware Administration Manual for Solaris OS.

To perform this procedure, become superuser or assume a role that provides solaris.cluster.read RBAC authorization.

  1. If the failed disk drive does not affect the storage array LUN's availability, skip to Step 4.

  2. If the failed disk drive affects the storage array LUN's availability, use volume manager commands to detach the submirror or plex.

    For more information, see your Solstice DiskSuite/Solaris Volume Manager or Veritas Volume Manager documentation.

  3. If the LUN (in Step 1) is configured as a quorum device, choose and configure another device to be the new quorum device. Remove the old quorum device.

    To determine whether the LUN is configured as a quorum device, use one of the following commands.

    • If you are using Sun Cluster 3.2, use the following command:


      # clquorum show

    • If you are using Sun Cluster 3.1, use the following command:


      # scstat -q

    For procedures about how to add and remove quorum devices, see your Sun Cluster system administration documentation.

  4. Replace the failed disk drive.

    For instructions, refer to the Sun StorEdge 3000 Family Installation, Operation, and Service Manual.

  5. (Optional) If you reconfigured a quorum device in Step 3, restore the original quorum configuration.

    For the procedure about how to add a quorum device, see your Sun Cluster system administration documentation.

  6. If you detached a submirror or plex in Step 1, use volume manager commands to reattach the submirror or plex.

    For more information, see your Solstice DiskSuite/Solaris Volume Manager or Veritas Volume Manager documentation.
