Install a Drive
Installing a drive into a server is a two-step
process. You must first install the drive into the drive slot and
then configure that drive to the server.
Note - If you removed an existing drive from a slot in the
server, you must install the replacement drive in the same slot
as the drive that was removed. Drives are physically addressed according
to the slot in which they are installed.
-
Take the necessary ESD precautions.
See Prevent ESD Damage.
- Fully open the release lever
on the drive.
- Install the drive by completing
the following tasks.
- Slide the drive into
the drive slot until it is fully seated.
- Close the latch to lock the drive
in place.
- Return the drive to operation
by doing one of the following:
- If you cold-serviced the drive, restore power to the server.
See Power On the Server (Oracle ILOM) or Power On the Server (System Power Button).
- If you hot-serviced the drive,
configure it using the cfgadm -c configure command.
The following example shows the drive at c0::dsk/c1t1d0 being configured.
# cfgadm -c configure c0::dsk/c1t1d0
Replace c0:dsk/c1t1d0 with the drive name
that applies to your situation.
-
If you hot-serviced an NVMe drive, it should automatically power up
and attach. If not, power up and attach the drive manually.
# hotplug enable /SYS/DBP/NVME0
Check that the drive's state has changed to ENABLED.
# hotplug list –lc
- Verify the drive functionality.
