Prepare to replace drive drawer (60-drive)
You prepare to replace a drive drawer by determining if you can perform the replacement procedure
while the drive shelf is online or if you need to stop host I/O activity and power off any of the shelves
that are powered on. If you are replacing a drawer in a shelf with Drawer Loss Protection, there is no
need to stop host I/O activity and power off any of the shelves.
Before you begin
• You must have installed SANtricity Storage Manager on a management station, so you can use
the storage array's command line interface (CLI).
• Make sure the drive shelf meets all of these conditions:
◦ The drive shelf cannot be over temperature.
◦ Both fans must be installed and have a status of Optimal.
◦ All drive shelf components must be in place.
◦ The volumes in the drive drawer cannot be in a Degraded state.
Attention: Possible loss of data access – If a volume is already in a Degraded state, and
you remove drives from the drive drawer, the volume can fail.
Steps
1. Determine if the drive shelf is powered on.
• If the power is off, you do not need to issue the CLI command. Go to Remove cable chains on
page 66.
• If the power is on, go to the next step.
2. Type the following command on the command line, and press Enter:
SMcli <ctlr_IP1> -p "array_password" -c "set tray [trayID] drawer
[drawerID]
serviceAllowedIndicator=on;"
where:
• <ctlr_IP1> is the identifier of the controller.
• array_password is the password for the storage array. You must enclose the value for
array_password in double quotation marks ("").
• [trayID] is the identifier of the drive shelf that contains the drive drawer that you want to
replace. Drive shelf ID values are 0 to 99. You must enclose the value for trayID in square
brackets.
