Sun Microsystems 5310 NAS Caution , Note

7-38 Sun StorEdge 5310 NAS Troubleshooting Guide • December 2004

Caution – Potential data loss. Removing a drive that has not failed can cause data

loss. To prevent data loss, remove only a failed drive that has a Fault (amber) light

on or a Failed status in the storage management software.

6. Check the Fault lights on the front of the module. If a fault is detected, the amber

Fault light will be on.

Note – IMPORTANT If you remove an active drive accidentally, wait 30 seconds

and then reinstall it. Refer to your storage management software for the recovery

procedure.

7. Lift the locking lever and remove the failed drive.

FIGURE7-21 Replacing a Drive

8. Wait 30 seconds for the storage management software to recognize that the drive

has been removed.

9. Slide the new drive all the way into the empty slot and close the drive lever.

As the drive spins up, the Fault light may flash intermittently. A flashing Active

light indicates that data is being restored to the new drive.

Note – IMPORTANT Depending on your storage array configuration, the storage

array may automatically reconstruct data to the new drive. If the storage array uses

hot spares, it may have to complete reconstruction on the hot spare before it copies

the data to the replaced drive. This increases the time required to complete this

procedure.
