Power On the Server (Oracle ILOM)
After you install a hard drive, you can verify its functionality.
-> set /SYS/HDDx clear_fault_action=true Are you sure you want to clear /SYS/HDD0 (y/n)? y Set 'clear_fault_action' to 'true' ->
where x is 0 to 3.
If you installed a new hard drive as part of a replacement operation, verify that the hard drive is no longer considered faulty, then return to this procedure. See Locate a Faulty Hard Drive.
If you installed a new hard drive to increase functionality, go to Step 3.
Depending on the nature of the replaced drive, you might need to perform administrative tasks to reinstall software before the server can boot. Refer to the Oracle Solaris OS administration documentation for more information.
# cfgadm -al
This command helps you identify the drive you installed. Example:
Ap_id Type Receptacle Occupant Condition . . c2 scsi-sas connected configured unknown .c3 scsi-sas connected configured unknown c2::w5000cca00a76d1f5,0 disk-path connected configured unknownc3::sd2 disk-path connected unconfigured unknown c4 scsi-sas connected configured unknown c4::w5000cca00a59b0a9,0 disk-path connected configured unknown . . .
Example:
# cfgadm -c configure c2::w5000cca00a76d1f5,0
Replace c2::w5000cca00a76d1f5,0 with the drive name for your configuration.
See Hard Drive LEDs.
# cfgadm -al
The replacement drive is now listed as configured. Example:
Ap_id Type Receptacle Occupant Condition . . c2 scsi-sas connected configured unknown .c3 scsi-sas connected configured unknown c2::w5000cca00a76d1f5,0 disk-path connected configured unknownc3::w5000cca00a772bd1,0 disk-path connected configured unknown c4 scsi-sas connected configured unknown c4::w5000cca00a59b0a9,0 disk-path connected configured unknown . . .
If the previous steps did not verify the drive, see Diagnostics Process.
If the previous steps indicate that the drive is functioning properly, perform the tasks required to configure the drive. These tasks are covered in the Oracle Solaris OS administration documentation.
For additional drive verification, you can run the Oracle VTS software. Refer to the Oracle VTS documentation for details.
