Hot-Plug a Nonmirrored Disk

  1. Verify which hard drive corresponds with which logical device name and physical device name.

    See Disk Slot Numbers.

    Ensure that no applications or processes are accessing the hard drive.

  2. Type the following command:
    # cfgadm –al

    For example:

    # cfgadm –al
    Ap_Id          Type         Receptacle   Occupant     Condition
    c1             scsi-bus     connected    configured   unknown

    c1::dsk/c1t1d0 disk         connected    configured   unknown
    c1::dsk/c1t2d0 disk         connected    configured   unknown
    c1::dsk/c1t3d0 disk         connected    configured   unknown
    c1::dsk/c1t4d0 disk         connected    configured   unknown
    c1::dsk/c1t5d0 disk         connected    configured   unknown
    c1::dsk/c1t6d0 disk         connected    configured   unknown
    c1::dsk/c1t7d0 disk         connected    configured   unknown
    usb0/1         unknown      empty        unconfigured ok
    usb0/2         unknown      empty        unconfigured ok

    usb2/3         unknown      empty        unconfigured ok
    usb2/4         usb-hub      connected    configured   ok
    usb2/4.1       unknown      empty        unconfigured ok

    #

    Note - The logical device names might appear differently on your system, depending on the number and type of add-on disk controllers installed.


    The –al options return the status of all SCSI devices, including buses and USB devices. In this example, no USB devices are connected to the system.

    Note that while you can use the Solaris OS cfgadm install_device and cfgadm remove_device commands to perform a hard drive hot-plug procedure, these commands issue the following warning message when you invoke them on a bus containing the system disk:

    # cfgadm -x remove_device c1::dsk/c1t3d0
    Removing SCSI device: /devices/pci@0/pci@0/pci@2/scsi@0/sd@3,0
    This operation will suspend activity on SCSI bus: c1
    Continue (yes/no)? yes
    cfgadm: Hardware specific failure: failed to suspend:
     Resource Information
    ------------------ -----------------------
    /dev/dsk/c1t1d0s0 mounted filesystem "/"

    This warning is issued because these commands attempt to quiesce the (SAS) SCSI bus, but the server firmware prevents it. This warning message can be safely ignored in the Sun SPARC Enterprise T5120 or T5220 server, but the following step avoids this warning message altogether.

  3. Remove the hard drive from the device tree.

    Type the following command:

    # cfgadm -c unconfigure Ap-Id

    For example:

    # cfgadm -c unconfigure c1::dsk/c1t3d0

    This example removes c1t3d0 from the device tree. The blue OK-to-Remove LED lights.

  4. Verify that the device has been removed from the device tree.

    Type the following command:

    # cfgadm -al
    Ap_Id           Type         Receptacle   Occupant     Condition
    c1              scsi-bus     connected    configured   unknown
    c1::dsk/c1t0d0  disk         connected    configured   unknown
    c1::dsk/c1t1d0  disk         connected    configured   unknown
    c1::dsk/c1t2d0  disk         connected    configured   unknown
    c1::dsk/c1t3d0  disk         connected    unconfigured unknown
    c1::dsk/c1t4d0  disk         connected    configured   unknown
    c1::dsk/c1t5d0  disk         connected    configured   unknown
    c1::dsk/c1t6d0  disk         connected    configured   unknown
    c1::dsk/c1t7d0  disk         connected    configured   unknown
    usb0/1          unknown      empty        unconfigured ok
    usb0/2          unknown      empty        unconfigured ok
    usb0/3          unknown      empty        unconfigured ok
    usb1/1          unknown      empty        unconfigured ok
    usb1/2          unknown      empty        unconfigured ok
    usb2/1          unknown      empty        unconfigured ok
    usb2/2          usb-storage  connected    configured   ok
    usb2/3          unknown      empty        unconfigured ok
    usb2/4          usb-hub      connected    configured   ok
    usb2/4.1        unknown      empty        unconfigured ok
    usb2/4.2        unknown      empty        unconfigured ok
    usb2/4.3        unknown      empty        unconfigured ok
    usb2/4.4        unknown      empty        unconfigured ok
    usb2/5          unknown      empty        unconfigured ok
    #

    Note that c1t3d0 is now unknown and unconfigured. The corresponding hard drive OK-to-Remove LED is lit.

  5. Remove the hard drive, as described in your server’s service manual.

    The blue OK-to-Remove LED is extinguished when you remove the hard drive.

  6. Install a new hard drive, as described in your server’s service manual.
  7. Configure the new hard drive.

    Type the following command:

    # cfgadm -c configure Ap-Id

    For example:

    # cfgadm -c configure c1::dsk/c1t3d0

    The green Activity LED flashes as the new disk at c1t3d0 is added to the device tree.

  8. Verify that the new hard drive is in the device tree.

    Type the following command:

    # cfgadm -al
    Ap_Id           Type         Receptacle   Occupant     Condition
