Remove a Drive
1.
Locate the drive that you want to remove.
a.
See “Front Panel Components (Service)” on page 13 for the locations of the
drives in the server.
b.
See “Determine Which Drive Is Faulty” on page 67.

To shut down the drive, see “Power Off the Server (Oracle ILOM)” on page 54 and go to step 5.
3.
Take the drive offline.

a.
At the Oracle Solaris prompt, list all drives in the device tree, including
drives that are not configured.
