HP StoreVirtual 4630 Storage Maintenance Guide (AX696-96343, December 2013)

2. Note the storage blade bay number, and then remove the storage blade from the blade
enclosure.
NOTE: For instructions on removing and replacing storage blade components, see Table 4
(page 20) for the applicable server blade maintenance and service guide.
3. Ensure that all components of the original blade are in place in the replacement blade. In
particular, ensure that:
• The original system disks are in place. This task is essential.
• The memory size of the replacement blade is a minimum of 64 GB or larger.
• The HP Smart Array P721m controller card with cache module is in place.
• The HP Smart Array P220i controller card with cache module is in place.
4. Insert the blade in its original bay in the blade chassis.
5. Connect to iLO, create a user (the iLO local user name), and assign the password (make sure
the password is the same password that is assigned to the other blades). The IP address is
configured automatically to be the same IP address as the original blade.
For more information, see “HP 4630 system cabling” (page 35).
6. Boot the storage blade.
7. Verify that the storage blade can access the disk storage by using the CMC.
Replacing a storage blade disk drive
The system disk on a storage blade comprises a logical RAID 1 disk that is mirrored over two
physical SFF disk drives in the storage blade. As long as one drive continues to operate, the storage
blade can operate.
You do not need to power down the storage blade; you can hot-swap disk drives. However, you
must replace the removed drive with a drive of the same size or larger.
To replace a disk drive in the storage blade:
1. Verify the disk drive has failed as follows:
• The drive failure LED is lit.
• The Alarm panel shows a failed drive.
2. If the product is under warranty, generate an ADU report zip bundle for the failed drive.
3. Generate the AHS log bundle using the iLO interface.
4. Remove the failed drive.
If you remove the wrong drive, the mirror set will break, and the storage blade may crash.
Reinsert the good drive and reboot the storage blade.
5. Insert the replacement drive.
The alarm clears and the RAID controller begins rebuilding. You can view the rebuild progress
in the hardware information in the CMC.
NOTE: If both drives in the storage blade have failed and the system does not boot, replace the
drives with newer drives, image the storage system, and follow the blade replacement procedure
using TUI.
Replacing both storage blade disk drives
As long as one disk drive in the storage blade continues to operate, the storage blade can operate.
However if both disk drives fail, the system disk is lost and you must restore the storage blade.
To reinstall a storage blade:
1. Remove both disk drives.
