Replacing a ZS3-2 HDD or SSD

HDDs and SSDs are hot-swappable and can be removed and installed while the storage controller is running without affecting other hardware capabilities. Use the following procedure to replace a ZS3-2 HDD or SSD. For information on disk compatibility, see the Oracle Systems Handbook.

Note -  If you have more than one failed drive, replace only one drive at a time. Removing more than one drive in quick succession causes a hardware/pool fault. Also, do not perform a pool configuration operation while a disk firmware upgrade is occurring. To check if an upgrade is in progress, navigate to Maintenance > System in the BUI, or maintenance system updates in the CLI.
  1. Identify the failed drive by going to the Maintenance > Hardware section of the BUI and clicking the drive information icon image:info icon . If you are physically at the system, the amber Service Required indicator on the HDD or SSD should be illuminated.
  2. If you are not physically at the system, turn on the locator indicator by clicking the locator icon image:locate icon .
  3. At the front of the controller, pinch the air filter's left and right release levers inward (1).
  4. Pivot the air filter forward and lift if out of the chassis (2).

  8. Align the replacement drive with the drive slot.
  9. Press on the release button to slide the drive into the chassis until the release lever moves slightly inward.
