5.2.5. What’s next?
Your drive replacement is complete. You can resume normal operations.
5.3. Replace drive in DE6000H (60-drive shelf)
You can replace a drive in a 60-drive shelf.
About this task
The Recovery Guru in ThinkSystem System Manager monitors the drives in the storage array and
can notify you of an impending drive failure or an actual drive failure. When a drive has failed, its
amber Attention LED is on. You can hot-swap a failed drive while the storage array is receiving I/O
operations.
This task applies to DCM and DCM2 drive shelves.
This procedure is for like-for-like shelf IOM hot-swaps or replacements. This
means you can only replace an IOM12 module with another IOM12 module or
replace an IOM12B module with another IOM12B module. (Your shelf can have
two IOM12 modules or have two IOM12B modules.)
Before you begin
•
Review drive handling requirements in Requirements for DE6000H drive replacement.
What you’ll need
•
A replacement drive that is supported by Lenovo for your controller shelf or drive shelf.
•
An ESD wristband, or you have taken other antistatic precautions.
•
A management station with a browser that can access ThinkSystem System Manager for the
controller. (To open the System Manager interface, point the browser to the controller’s domain
name or IP address.)
