Replacing a ZS3-4 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 ZS3-4 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.
-
Identify the failed HDD or SSD by going to the Maintenance > Hardware
section of the BUI and clicking the drive information icon
. If you are physically at the system, the amber Service
Required indicator on the HDD or SSD should be illuminated.
-
If you are not physically at the system, turn on the locator indicator by
clicking the locator icon
.
-
Push the release button on the HDD or SSD to open the latch.
-
Grasp the latch (2), and pull the drive out of the drive slot.
-
After at least 30 seconds, navigate to the Hardware > Maintenance
screen, and click the right-arrow icon
on the system controller to verify that the software
has detected that the drive is not present.
-
Slide the replacement drive into the slot until it is fully seated.
-
Close the latch to lock the drive in place.
-
The Oracle ZFS Storage system software automatically detects and
configures the new drive. The device appears in the BUI Maintenance >
Hardware screen when you view details for the controller or drive
shelf.

If a fault does not self-clear, see Repairing Active Problems.
