Hot-Plug Disk Drive Replacement
Attention: Before you perform these procedures, ensure that the customer has taken
appropriate actions to back up the data for the drive you are removing, and that the
drive has been removed from the configuration. Physically removing a hot-plug drive
from the system before it has been removed from the system configuration can cause
unrecoverable data corruption. Refer to “Deconfiguring (Removing) or Configuring a
Disk Drive” on page 160.
Do not
use Install/Configure Devices Added After IPL if your system is set up to run
HACMP clustering. Consult with your system administrator or software support to
determine the correct method to configure the replacement disk.
1. To install a hot-plug disk drive, do the following:
a. Ensure the tray handle is open (perpendicular to the drive).
