Adding a Disk Drive

The internal disk drives (A upper and B lower) are located in the back of
the SPU. The internal disk drives are hot swapable when the proper
software and hardware procedures are followed.
To add a disk drive in the SPU, perform the following hardware steps:
1. Align the new disk drive into the disk tray and insert the four (2 on
each side) mounting screws to secure the disk to the tray.
2. Align the disk and tray assembly to the empty slot in the back of the
SPU.
3. Carefully slide the disk into the SPU until it firmly seats into the disk
card. Note that the guide tabs on each side of the disk tray fully seat
to the guide pins on the chassis.
4. Angle the bottom of the disk cover plate into the SPU so that the
hooked tabs go over the extended pins inside the chassis. This acts
like a hinge for the cover.
5. Push the top of the cover plate towards the SPU until it is flush with
the chassis and fully seated.
6. Tighten the single, captive mounting screw.

    Adding a Disk Drive The internal disk drives (A upper and B lower) are located in the back of the SPU. The internal disk drives are hot swapable when the proper software and hardware procedures are followed. To add a disk drive in the SPU, perform the following hardware steps: 1.
  • Page 2 Once you have completed the addition of the disk drive, you must perform the Hot swap procedure: Hot Swap Software Procedure NOTE HP often uses different manufacturers for disks having the same product number. This hot swap procedure will not automatically update the disk driver’s internal manufacturer information to that of the added disk drive.
  • Page 3 lvcreate -C y -r n root /dev/vgroot Step 9. Extend the mirrors onto the disk you’ve added. For example: lvextend -m 1 <LV name> /dev/vgroot/root /dev/dsk/cXtXdX Step 10. Specify that logical volume be used as the root logical volume, for example: lvln -r /dev/vgroot/root At this point you will need to create a file system on the disk.
  • Page 4 Step 2. Create a physical volume using pvcreate with the -B option. -B creates an area on the disk for a LIF volume, boot utilities, and a BDRA (Boot Data Reserved Area). For example: # pvcreate -B /dev/rdsk/cXtXdX Step 3. Create a directory for the volume group using mkdir.
  • Page 5 lvextend -m 1 <LV name> /dev/vgroot/root /dev/dsk/cXtXdX Step 12. Synchronize the mirrors. This may take several minutes as it will have to copy all the data from the original copy of the data to the mirrored extents. The logical volume(s) are still accessible to users’...

  • Page 15: Add-On Memory

    Follow these procedures to add memory to an rp7400 server. Memory Configuration Rules An rp7400 system supports up to 4 memory carriers (numbered 0, 1, 2, and 3), each with slots for 4 memory DIMM pairs (numbered 0a/b, 1a/b, 2a/b, and 3a/b). For the DIMMs to work, both DIMMs in a slot pair must be the same type (i.e., the same part number).
