13. Turn on the node. When you turn on the node, use the node rescue procedure to install the SAN

Volume Controller software on the new disk. Then add the node back into the cluster. See

"Performing the node rescue" in the IBM System Storage SAN Volume Controller 2145 Troubleshooting

Guide.

Note: If you must replace the hard disk and the service controller at the same time, you might not

be able to start the node to perform node rescue. See “Replacing a disk drive and a service controller

on the SAN Volume Controller” on page 92.

2145-8G4 SATA disk drive

This topic describes how to replace the SATA disk drive for the SAN Volume Controller 2145-8A4 and the

SAN Volume Controller 2145-8G4 nodes.

You can replace the SATA (serial advanced technology attachment) disk drive after you remove the

existing disk drive.

To replace the SAN Volume Controller 2145-8A4 and the SAN Volume Controller 2145-8G4 disk drive,

perform the following steps:

1. Make sure that the node cover is in place and fully closed.

Attention: To avoid damage to the hard disk drive connectors, make sure that the node cover is in

place and fully closed whenever you remove or replace a hard disk drive.

2. Find the rails assembly and screws that are shipped with the new disk drive. Attach the rails

assembly to the disk drive with four screws, as shown in Figure 112 on page 110, using two on each

side of the disk.
