Replace drive drawer (60-drive)
The steps to replace a failed drive drawer in an HB5200 controller shelf or a DE460C drive shelf depend on
whether the volumes in the drawer are protected by Drawer Loss Protection. If all volumes in the drive drawer
are in disk pools or volume groups that have Drawer Loss Protection, you can perform this procedure online.
Otherwise, you must stop all host I/O activity and power off the shelf before replacing the drive drawer.

Prepare to replace drive drawer (60-drive)
You prepare to replace a drive drawer by determining if you can perform the replacement procedure while the
drive shelf is online or if you need to stop host I/O activity and power off any of the shelves that are powered
on. If you are replacing a drawer in a shelf with Drawer Loss Protection, there is no need to stop host I/O
activity and power off any of the shelves.
Before you begin
• You must have installed SANtricity System Manager on a management station, so you can use the storage
array's command line interface (CLI).
• Make sure the drive shelf meets all of these conditions:
• The drive shelf cannot be over temperature.
• Both fans must be installed and have a status of Optimal.
• All drive shelf components must be in place.
• The volumes in the drive drawer cannot be in a Degraded state.
Attention: Possible loss of data access – If a volume is already in a Degraded state, and you
remove drives from the drive drawer, the volume can fail.
Procedure
1. Determine if the drive shelf is powered on.
• If the power is off, you do not need to issue the CLI command. Go to Remove cable chains.
• If the power is on, go to the next step.
2. Type the following command on the command line, and press Enter:
SMcli <ctlr_IP1> -p "array_password" -c "set tray [trayID] drawer
[drawerID]
serviceAllowedIndicator=on;"
where:
• <ctlr_IP1> is the identifier of the controller.
• array_password is the password for the storage array. You must enclose the value for array_password in
double quotation marks ("").
