Replacing Node Hard Drives
Quantum DXi6900 G1 User’s Guide 91
Use the indicator LEDs on the hard drive carrier to identify the failed
hard drive (see
Figure 47):
• Drive activity indicator (green)
• Flashing - Indicates hard disk drive activity.
• Drive status indicator (green and amber)
• Off - Drive ready for insertion or removal
Note: The drive status indicator remains off until all hard
drives are initialized after system power is applied.
Drives are not ready for insertion or removal during this
time.
• Blinks green two times per second - Identify drive/preparing
for removal
• Blinks green, amber, and off - Drive predicted failure
• Blinks amber four times per second - Drive failed
• Blinks green slowly - Drive rebuilding
• Steady green - Drive online
• Blinks green three seconds, amber three seconds, and off
three seconds - Rebuild aborted
Note: If a drive fails, you will be notified by a service ticket in the
remote management console.
Caution: All drives are hot swappable. When replacing drives, never
remove more than one drive at a time from a RAID set.
After removing a drive, first wait one minute. Then insert a
working drive and wait for the RAID set to finish rebuilding
(red indicator light is off) before removing another drive.
