Hot-Plug Disk Drives Before performing the following procedure, read "Safety Notices" on page vii. Attention: The Linux operating system does not support these hot-pluggable procedures. A system with Linux installed must be shut down and powered off before installing any disk drive or PCI adapter. Note: You do not have to power off your AIX system to remove a hot-plug disk drive. Before you perform these procedures, ensure that you have taken the appropriate actions to back up the data for the drive you are removing, and that the drive has been removed from the configuration. Physically removing a hot-plug disk drive from the system before it has been removed from the system configuration can cause unrecoverable data corruption. Deconfiguring (Removing) or Configuring a Disk Drive Use these procedures if you are removing or installing a drive while the system power is turned on. Deconfiguring (Removing) a Disk Drive Before removing a disk drive from a volume group, do the following: 1. Log in as root user. 2. Before a disk can be removed from a volume group, all data must be backed up and the data removed from the disk to be replaced. Use AIX Logical Volume Manager to perform this task. Documentation for the AIX operating system is available from the IBM pSeries Information Eserver Center at http://publib16.boulder.ibm.com/pseries/en_US/infocenter/base. Select AIX documentation. The AIX Documentation CD contains the base set of publications for the operating system, including system-management and end-user documentation. 3. At the command line, type smitty. 4. Select System Storage Manager (Physical and Logical Storage) and press Enter. 5. Select Logical Volume Manager and press Enter. 6. Select Volume Groups and press Enter. 7. Select Set Characteristics of a Volume Group and press Enter. 8. Select Remove a Physical Volume from a Volume Group. 9. Press F4 to list the available volume groups, then select the volume group name and press Enter. 10. Press F4 to select a physical volume, and follow the instructions on the screen to select the physical volume. Then press Enter. 11. Press the F3 key enough times to return to first smitty menu. Then select System Storage Management (Physical and Logical Storage). 12. Select Removable Disk Management. 13. Select Remove a Disk. 14. Select the desired disk from the list on the screen and press Enter. 15. Follow the instructions on the screen to remove the drive. 16. When you are asked ″Are you sure?,″ press Enter. The power LED on the drive that you selected will remain on. 17. Remove the disk drive by pulling the disk drive lever toward you until it is completely open. Then remove the disk drive from the slot. The LED on the top of the slot will turn off when the disk drive is removed. 18. Press F10 to exit smitty. Chapter 3. Installing Options 47
