Verify a SAS Drive

After you install a SAS drive, you can verify its functionality.

1. Access Oracle ILOM.

   See Log In to Oracle ILOM (Service).

2. Check for the presence of the drive.

   -> show /SYS/DBP/HDDx/PRSNT
   /SYS/DBP/HDD0/PRSNT
   Targets:
   
       Properties:
           type = Entity Presence
           ipmi_name = HDD0/PRSNT
           class = Discrete Sensor
           value = Present
           alarm_status = cleared
   
   ->

   where x is 0 to 7.

3. If you replaced a drive, verify that the drive location is no longer considered faulty, then return to this procedure.

   See Locate a Faulty Drive.

4. If the OS was shut down, and the drive you installed was not the boot device, boot the OS.

   Depending on the function of the replaced drive, you might need to perform administrative tasks to reinstall software before the server can boot. Refer to the OS documentation for more information.

5. Verify that the blue Ready to Remove LED is no longer lit on the drive that you installed.

   See SAS Drive LEDs.

6. When the drive is functioning properly, configure the drive.

   Refer to the OS documentation.
