Replacing a ZS5-2 HDD

HDDs 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 ZS5-2 HDD. 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 succesion will cause 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 faulted HDD.

    • If you are not physically at the system, go to the Maintenance > Hardware section of the BUI, click the right-arrow icon for the controller, and note the ID of the faulted drive, which has an amber icon. To highlight the location of the drive in the controller picture, click on the drive ID. To view details about the faulted drive, click its information icon and then click Active Problems.

    • If you are physically at the system, the amber Service Action Required indicator on the HDD should be lit. Additionally, you can click the locator icon image:locate icon in the BUI to flash the locator indicator on the faulted drive.

  2. To remove a faulted drive, press the release button and pivot the release lever open to the right.

  4. After at least 30 seconds, navigate to the Hardware > Maintenance screen, and click the right-arrow icon image:apply icon on the system controller to verify that the software has detected that the drive is not present.
  5. To insert the replacement drive, push the release button of the drive.

    The release lever opens.

  6. Align the replacement drive with the chassis slot.

    The connector is at the rear of the drive and the release button is on the left.

  7. Slide the drive into the chassis until the release lever moves slightly inward.
  8. Press the release lever fully closed until it clicks, securing the drive into the chassis.

    The Oracle ZFS Storage Appliance software automatically detects and configures the new drive.

  9. Go to the Maintenance > Hardware screen of the BUI. Click the right-arrow icon for the controller, and verify that the status icon image:light on icon is green for the newly installed drive. To view details about the new drive, click its information icon.
  10. If a fault does not self-clear, see Repairing Active Problems.
