Hot-swap a drive - NS224 shelves
You can replace a failed drive nondisruptively in an NS224 drive shelf that is powered on,
and while I/O is in progress.
Before you begin
• The drive that you are installing must be supported by the NS224 shelf.

• All other components in the system must be functioning properly; if not, contact technical support.
• Verify that the drive you are removing is failed.
You can verify that the drive is failed by running the
storage disk show -broken command. The
failed drive appears in the list of failed drives. If it does not, you should wait, and then run the command
again.
Depending on the drive type and capacity, it can take up to several hours for the drive to
appear in the list of failed drives.
About this task
• Best practice: The best practice is to have the current version of the Disk Qualification Package (DQP)
installed before hot-swapping a drive.
Having the current version of the DQP installed allows your system to recognize and use newly qualified
drives. This avoids system event messages about having noncurrent drive information and prevention of
drive partitioning because drives are not recognized. The DQP also notifies you of noncurrent drive
firmware.

• Best practice: The best practice is to have current versions of NVMe shelf module (NSM) firmware and
drive firmware on your system before replacing FRU components.
Do not revert firmware to a version that does not support your shelf and its components.
