HPE STOREONCE 5500

If you have configured recipients for SNMP traps or email alerts, they will be notified of a disk failure. You can
also use the GUI as follows:
• Go to the appropriate Hardwarepage to get the details for the device:
Hardware — Storage Clusters — Storage Cluster n — Drive Enclosure — Sub Enclosure (Drawer n)
— Drives.
The disk fault LED (amber) will also be illuminated on the disk carrier.
Using the StoreOnce CLI
The following StoreOnce CLI commands can also be used to identify specific disk locations, to walk through
the hardware tree to identify the disk and enclosure and to flash the Beacon LED on and off. See Using the
StoreOnce CLI to identify a failed disk on page 18 for a worked example.

Replacing a hot plug disk in a disk enclosure
Important Safety information
WARNING:
To reduce the risk of personal injury or damage to the equipment, ensure that only one hard drive
drawer is extended at a time.
Replacing a hard drive within the enclosure is an online activity, providing the following general guidelines are
observed:
• When the drawer is opened, the cooling fans in the enclosure will run at full-speed. This is normal.
• Hard drives are sensitive to excessive vibration. Use care when opening and closing the drawer.
• Never leave the drawer open for any length of time. It should be opened only for maintenance and storage
expansion.
• Verify that the drives are fully seated before closing the drawer.
• The drawer is fully closed when the fans slow down to their normal speed.
• Close the drawer with the handle in the released position.
NOTE:
Remember to close the handle after closing the drawer
Installing the drives
Procedure
1. If you are using HPE StoreOnce Remote Support on your system, run the following StoreOnce CLI
command to suppress remote event reporting:
system enable remoteeventsuppression "Disk Maintenance"
2. Identify which drive needs replacing and its drawer and bay location. This information may be provided
from SNMP alerts or from the StoreOnce GUI on the Events or Hardware pages. For example, expand
the Hardware tree until you locate the item that has failed.
