4-6 Sun StorEdge D240 Media Tray Installation, Operation, and Service Manual • August 2001
You can use any hard drive you add to a Sun StorEdge media tray for Solstice
DiskSuite new or existing metadevices. Refer to the Solstice DiskSuite
documentation for information on configuring the drive.
4.2.3 Replacing a Hard Drive
1. Determine which hard drive is failing or has failed.
2. Remove the front bezel from the media tray.
3. Remove the drive or drive sled assembly.
4. Install the replacement drive or drive sled assembly.
5. Reconfigure the operating environment.
6. Replace the front bezel on the media tray.
In all cases you must stop any activity or applications on the drive, unmount it,
physically remove the old drive and install the new one, and configure the Solaris
environment to recognize the drive. Then you must configure your application to
accept the new drive.
1. Prepare the spare drive.
Each replacement drive must be formatted, labeled, and partitioned the same as the
disk it will replace. See the documentation for your application for instructions on
how to format and partition the drive, and add that drive to your application.
2. Identify the faulty disk drive.
The media tray hard drive LEDs indicate operating status. You can also find
messages about failing or failed drives in your system console. The information is
also logged in the /usr/adm/messages file(s). Refer to the documentation that
came with your application for more information.
a. Once you have identified which drive is faulty, determine the SCSI ID and slot
position for that drive in the media tray.
3. Name the device according to convention in the Solaris operating environment.
The naming convention for disks attached to a host port or a host adapter is
cwtxdysz, where:
w corresponds to the SBus controller in your system
x corresponds to the media tray disk slot
y is the logical unit for the drive (always 0)
z is the slice (or partition) on the drive
