Replacing A Hot-Plug Hard Disk - HP HPE StoreOnce 3100 Series Maintenance And Service Manual

Replacing a hot-plug hard disk

WARNING!
Multiple disk failures within the same array will result in complete data loss.
Note that ALL enclosures of storage must be working for the system to operate; if the RAID fails
on any one array due to exceeding the maximum amount of failed disks in a pool then ALL data
is lost. In the case of the HPE StoreOnce 3100 System, if more than one disk fails then the data
and operating system are lost and a "Quick Restore" of the appliance OS will be required before
the unit can be used again.
Procedure 1
1. Identify the disk that has failed. If you have configured recipients for SNMP traps or email
alerts, they will be notified of a disk failure. You can also use the GUI as follows:
Go to the appropriate Hardware page to get the details for the device: Hardware —
Storage Clusters — Storage Cluster 1 — Drive Enclosures — Drives.
You can use the Beacon LED On button on this page to turn the LED on the front of
the disk on, which makes it easier to identify and replace. The disk fault LED (amber)
will also be illuminated on the disk carrier.
50 Disk replacement
