Replacing, moving, or adding hard drives 35

Recreate the partitions.

c. Restore all data from backup.

To minimize the risk of data loss that is caused by compromised fault tolerance, make frequent backups of

all logical volumes.

Replacing hard drives

The most common reason for replacing a hard drive is that it has failed. However, another reason is to

gradually increase the storage capacity of the entire system.

If you insert a hot-pluggable drive into a drive bay while the system power is on, all disk activity in the

array pauses for a second or two while the new drive is spinning up. When the drive has achieved its

normal spin rate, data recovery to the replacement drive begins automatically (as indicated by the

blinking Online/Activity LED on the replacement drive) if the array is in a fault-tolerant configuration.

If you replace a drive belonging to a fault-tolerant configuration while the system power is off, a POST

message appears when the system is next powered up. This message prompts you to press the F1 key to

start automatic data recovery. If you do not enable automatic data recovery, the logical volume remains

in a ready-to-recover condition and the same POST message appears whenever the system is restarted.

Factors to consider before replacing hard drives

Before replacing a degraded drive:

• Open Systems Insight Manager, and inspect the Error Counter window for each physical drive in the

same array to confirm that no other drives have any errors. (For details, refer to the Systems Insight

Manager documentation on the Management CD.)

• Be sure that the array has a current, valid backup.

• Confirm that the replacement drive is of the same type (SAS or SATA) as the degraded drive.

• Use replacement drives that have a capacity at least as great as that of the smallest drive in the

array. The controller immediately fails drives that have insufficient capacity.

In systems that use external data storage, be sure that the server is the first unit to be powered down and

the last to be powered back up. Taking this precaution ensures that the system does not erroneously mark

the drives as failed when the server is powered up.

To minimize the likelihood of fatal system errors, take these precautions when removing failed drives:

• Do not remove a degraded drive if any other drive in the array is offline (the Online/Activity LED is

off). In this situation, no other drive in the array can be removed without data loss.

The following cases are exceptions:

o When RAID 1+0 is used, drives are mirrored in pairs. Several drives can be in a failed condition

simultaneously (and they can all be replaced simultaneously) without data loss, as long as no two

failed drives belong to the same mirrored pair.

o When RAID 6 (ADG) is used, two drives can fail simultaneously (and be replaced simultaneously)

without data loss.

o If the offline drive is a spare, the degraded drive can be replaced.
