HP MSA 2040 HP MSA 2040 Drive Module Replacement Instructions (732221-001, Jun - Page 3

Installing the replacement drive CAUTION: Wait approximately 30 seconds after removing the failed drive and before installing the replacement drive. This timeframe allows the enclosure to recognize that a drive was removed from the enclosure and can then recognize the replacement drive when it is installed. 1. On the replacement drive, prepare the drive by pressing the drive ejector button and pivoting the release lever to the full open position. 2. Insert the replacement drive into the drive enclosure, sliding the drive into the drive enclosure as far as it will go. As the drive meets the backplane, the release lever automatically begins to rotate closed. 3. Press firmly on the release lever to ensure that the drive is fully seated. 4. Wait approximately 30 seconds for the system to discover the drive. 5. Go to the SMU or CLI and confirm that the drive is available for use. Working with failed drives, spares, and replacement drives When dynamic sparing is enabled and a drive fails in a fault-tolerant vdisk, if compatible drives are available, the storage system automatically uses the drives to reconstruct the vdisk. Vdisk reconstruction does not require I/O to be stopped, so the vdisk can continue to be used while the reconstruct utility runs. If dynamic sparing is not enabled, you must manually set as a spare an appropriately sized drive with the correct protocol for the rebuild to start. When a failed drive is rebuilt on to a spare, the spare becomes the new drive in the virtual disk and the original drive slot position that failed is unused and is no longer part of the virtual disk. To make the replacement drive available for use as a spare: 1. In the SMU, make sure that the status of the drive slot in which the replacement drive is installed is Available. All new drives should be Available; if the status is a different value, see the HP MSA 2040 User Guide or the MSA 2040 Guided Troubleshooting and determine what action to take. 2. When the replacement drive is online and Available, configure the drive to be a dedicated spare or a global spare. For information about vdisk reconstruction and using the SMU, see the following documentation on the HP website: http://www.hp.com/support/msa2040/ manuals. • MSA 2040 Guided Troubleshooting • HP MSA 2040 User Manual • HP MSA 2040 SMU Reference Guide • HP MSA 2040 CLI Reference Guide Verifying proper operation Confirm that the drive is operating normally. See "Verifying drive status" (page 2). Updating firmware After installing any new component, verify that it is running the latest firmware. Go to the HP Support Center website and navigate to the HP MSA 2040 enclosure model. If newer firmware is available, download the firmware from the Web to your local system and install the latest version on the drive. For more information on firmware updates, see either the HP MSA 2040 SMU Reference Guide, HP MSA 2040 CLI Reference Guide, or HP MSA 2040 User Guide. Page 3
