Adaptec CI/O Management Software User's Guide 5 Insert the replacement drive and issue the Rescan command. 6 If the array enclosure does not support hot swapping, pause I/O to the array before you continue. (Skip to Step 10 if the array enclosure supports hot swapping.) See Pausing I/O on an Array on page 7-5. Note: Be sure to specify a Pause period that allows you enough time to remove the failed drive or insert the replacement drive. Wait a few seconds after issuing the Pause I/O command before you remove or insert a drive. 7 Remove the failed disk drive and allow I/O to resume. 8 Pause I/O again. 9 Insert the replacement drive and allow I/O to resume. 10 Select the icon of the new disk, and issue a Create Spare command. 11 When a Pool spare with a capacity as large as the smallest member of the critical array or a spare dedicated to the critical array is created, the reconstruct will start automatically. When the reconstruct is completed the array is in Faulttolerant status again, and the Array icon will look like this: Replacing a Spare Follow these steps to replace a spare drive that is recognized as good by Adaptec CI/O Management Software: 1 Delete the spare. (See Deleting a Spare on page 5-17.) 1 Hot swapping support means that the array enclosure electrically isolates the bad disk's SCSI connector from the SCSI bus while the disk is being swapped to prevent data corruption. Data can still be transferred to and from the remaining good disks while the bad drive is replaced. 10-4
