Using Appliance Manager
Physical appliances have redundant encrypted disks.
Disk failure results in a critical alarm, and the specific disk’s LED stops illuminating on the appliance.
To replace a failed disk:
1. Log into your Support portal account, and click Open a Self Service RMA for disk replacement.
2. Complete the wizard, using the serial number of the appliance (not the disk).
3. After you receive the new disk, go to the Maintenance - Disk Management page.
4. Select the failed disk's row in the table and click Remove. This takes the disk off-line.
5. Physically remove the old disk from the appliance.
6. Physically insert the new disk.
7. In the table, select the new disk and click Insert. This prompts the software to discover the disk and put it
online.
