Fujitsu Primepower200 - Backing up Data; Hot-Swapping Hard Disk Drives

11.1 Hard Disk Drives
11.1.4 Backing up data
The hard disk drives used in the PRIMEPOWER are highly reliable. Even so, accidents can still cause disk drives
to malfunction. If a disk drive malfunctions, the recorded data either will not be recoverable, or may take an
extremely long time to recover. As insurance against unexpected accidents, we recommend periodic backing up of
valuable data to a tape drive.
11.1.5 Hot-swapping hard disk drives
CAUTION
Data Destruction
Data may be lost if hot-swapping of hard disk drives is not performed correctly.
Contact the service engineer if a hard disk drive must be hot-swapped.
IMPORTANT
To utilize the hot-swapping functions of the hard disk drive, use the option software (SynfinityDISK) to
perform mirroring.
Hard disk drives installed on the PRIMEPOWER are hot-swappable. To enable hot-swapping, use the tools
(machine administration) contained in the "Enhanced Support Facility" to perform hot-swapping. For details on
how to swap hard disk drives, refer to the "Machine Administration Instructions" included with the "Enhanced
Support Facility".
