Replacing a ZS5-4 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 ZS5-4 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 succession 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.
-
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
in the BUI to flash the locator indicator on
the faulted drive.
-
Verify that the Ready to Remove indicator is lit on the faulted
drive.
-
On the drive you want to remove, push the drive release button (1) to open
the latch.
-
Grasp the latch (2) and pull the drive out of the drive slot (3).
-
After at least 30 seconds, go 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.
-
On the replacement drive, open the release lever and slide the drive into the
same slot (1) until it is fully seated. Close the latch (2) to lock the drive in
place.
The Oracle ZFS Storage Appliance software automatically detects and configures
the new drive.
-
Go to the Maintenance > Hardware screen of the BUI. Click the
right-arrow icon for the controller, and verify that the status icon
is green for the newly installed drive. To view details
about the new drive, click its information icon.
-
If a fault does not self-clear, see Repairing Active Problems.
