1. Identify the drive you plan to remove.
See “Locate a Faulty Drive” on page 68.
2. Prepare the drive for removal by performing one of the following steps:
■ Take the drive offline.
The exact commands required to take the drive offline depend on the
configuration of your drives. For example, you might need to unmount file
systems or perform certain RAID commands.
One command that is commonly used to take a drive offline is the cfgadm
command. For more information, refer to the Oracle Solaris cfgadm man page.
■ Shut down the Oracle Solaris OS.
If the drive cannot be taken offline, shut down the Oracle Solaris OS on the
server module. See “Shut Down the OS and Host (Commands)” on page 57
3. Verify whether the blue Drive Ready to Remove LED is illuminated on the front
of the drive.
See “Drive LEDs” on page 67. The blue LED will be illuminated only if the drive
was taken offline using cfgadm or an equivalent command. The LED will not be
illuminated if Oracle Solaris was shut down.
4. Remove the drive.
a. Push the latch release button on the drive (panels 1 and 2).
