Replacing a disk in a disk shelf

About replacing a disk

You can replace a disk in a disk shelf for any reason. However, the most common reason is disk failure. Disk drives are also hot swappable, meaning that they can be replaced while the system remains powered on. If a disk in your R150 disk shelf fails, the storage engine logs a warning message to the system console indicating which SCSI disk on which disk shelf failed.

Preparing to replace a disk

Before you replace a disk in a disk shelf, you must first check the disk shelf to ensure that after you remove the disk you still have enough disks installed to meet the enclosure services requirements. For information about these requirements, see Disk drive labeling.
