Sun Cluster 3.1 - 3.2 With Sun StorEdge 3900 Series or Sun StorEdge 6900 Series System Manual

ProcedureHow to Replace a Disk Drive

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

Note –

Sun storage documentation uses the following terms:

This manual uses logical volume to refer to all such logical constructs.

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.

  1. Become superuser or assume a role that provides solaris.cluster.read RBAC authorization.

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

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

  3. If the logical volume (in Step 1) is configured as a quorum device, choose another volume to configure as the quorum device. Then 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 T3 and T3+ Array Installation, Operation, and Service Manual.

  5. (Optional) If the new disk drive is part of a logical volume that you want to be a quorum device, add the quorum device.

    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 Solaris Volume Manager or Veritas Volume Manager documentation.
