Replacing a Failed Flash Disk

Caution:

The PCIe cards are not hot pluggable; you must power down a storage server before replacing the flash disks or cards.

Before you perform the following procedure, shut down the server. See "Shutting Down a Storage Server".

To replace a failed flash disk:

1. Replace the failed flash disk. Use the PCI number and FDOM number to locate the failed disk. A white cell LED is lit to help you locate the affected server.
2. Power up the server. The services start automatically. As part of the server startup, all grid disks are automatically online in Oracle ASM.
3. Verify that all grid disks are online:

   CellCLI> LIST GRIDDISK ATTRIBUTES name, asmmodestatus
   

   Wait until asmmodestatus shows ONLINE or UNUSED for all grid disks.
