Infoblox 2200 Series Hard Disk Drive Replacement
The Infoblox 2200 Series appliances ship with four hot-swappable hard disk drives configured in a RAID (Redundant
Array of Independent Disks) 10 array. The appliances are designed to provide continuous operation in the event of
a failed disk. Hot-swapping a disk drive is a simple process that does not require issuing commands or a Grid
Manager operation.
When you replace a failed disk, you must replace it with an Infoblox supplied disk. To ensure that you receive the
correct replacement disk, report the disk type or part number of the failed disk. For field replaceable unit part
numbers, see Table 4 on page 41. The appliance also displays the disk type in the
Detailed Status
panel of the Grid
Manager. Installing disks that are not qualified and shipped from Infoblox could cause failures in the appliance.
You can access the disk drives from the front of the appliance. Each disk drive weighs about 2 pounds (.90 kg).
You can remove or replace a defective drive without interrupting appliance operations or network services. To
remove a disk drive:
1. Identify and verify the failed drive through the Grid Manager, the front panel LCD, or the CLI.
2. If the activity light is green or blinking green, ensure that you have identified the correct drive.
Conditions may exist where a drive gradually fails and continues to show green in the activity light.
Caution: Never remove a correctly functioning drive in a live system. If a disk drive fails, remove the failed disk only.
NEVER remove two or more disks at once. Removing more than one disk at a time can cause a complete failure of
the appliance and require an RMA (Return Material Authorization). All replacement drives must complete the
rebuilding process before you can remove another drive. You can log in to the Grid Manager and check the status of
the disk drives.
3. Press the release button to release the catch-release lever.
4. Use the catch-release lever to pull the disk about two cm (one inch) to disengage contact, as indicated in
Figure 16.
5. Wait about 30 seconds for the disk to completely stop spinning.
