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 104.
If your system is set up to run HACMP clustering,
do not
use Install/Configure
Devices Added After IPL. Consult with your system administrator, or software support
for the correct method to configure the replacement disk.
