Description:
This document describes the process of replacing a failed internal
disk on the Sun Fire[TM] V440 server when the disk is not mirrored using the
on-board hardware RAID controller.
Document Body:
1. Verify which disk drive corresponds with which logical device name and
physical device name. Listed below is the table for the v440 disk devices:
Disk Slot Number Logical Device Name[1] Physical Device Name
—————————————————————————–
Slot 0 c1t0d0 /devices/pci@1f,700000/scsi@2/sd@0,0
Slot 1 c1t1d0 /devices/pci@1f,700000/scsi@2/sd@1,0
Slot 2 c1t2d0 /devices/pci@1f,700000/scsi@2/sd@2,0
Slot 3 c1t3d0 /devices/pci@1f,700000/scsi@2/sd@3,0
2. Verify that a hardware disk mirror does not exist
#raidctl
No RAID volumes found.
****NOTE**** If Raid volumes exist see infodoc 73040
3. View status of SCSI devices
#cfgadm -al
Ap_Id Type Receptacle Occupant Condition
c0 scsi-bus connected configured unknown
c0::dsk/c0t0d0 CD-ROM connected configured unknown
c1 scsi-bus connected configured unknown
c1::dsk/c1t0d0 disk connected configured unknown
c1::dsk/c1t1d0 disk connected configured unknown
c1::dsk/c1t2d0 disk connected configured unknown
c1::dsk/c1t3d0 disk connected configured unknown
c2 scsi-bus connected configured unknown
c2::dsk/c2t2d0 disk connected configured unknown
usb0/1 unknown empty unconfigured ok
usb0/2 unknown empty unconfigured ok
usb1/1 unknown empty unconfigured ok
usb1/2 unknown empty unconfigured ok
4. Remove the disk drive from the device tree
#cfgadm -c unconfigure <Ap_Id>
example -> #cfgadm -c unconfigure c1::dsk/c1t3d0
This example removes c1t3d0 from the device tree. The blue OK-to-Remve LED for
the disk being removed will become lit.
5. Verify that the device has been removed from the device tree
#cfgadm -al
Ap_Id Type Receptacle Occupant Condition
c0 scsi-bus connected configured unknown
c0::dsk/c0t0d0 CD-ROM connected configured unknown
c1 scsi-bus connected configured unknown
c1::dsk/c1t0d0 disk connected configured unknown
c1::dsk/c1t1d0 disk connected configured unknown
c1::dsk/c1t2d0 disk connected configured unknown
c1::dsk/c1t3d0 unavailable connected unconfigured unknown
c2 scsi-bus connected configured unknown
c2::dsk/c2t2d0 disk connected configured unknown
usb0/1 unknown empty unconfigured ok
usb0/2 unknown empty unconfigured ok
usb1/1 unknown empty unconfigured ok
usb1/2 unknown empty unconfigured ok
*NOTE that c1t3d0 is now unavailable and unconfigured. The disks blue
OK-to-Remve LED is lit
6. Remove the disk drive
7. Install a new disk drive
8. Configure the new disk drive
#cfgadm -c <Ap_Id>
example->#cfgadm -c configure c1::dsk/c1t3d0
*NOTE that the green activity LED flashes as the new disk at c1t3d0 is added to
the device tree
9. Verify that the new disk drive is in the device tree
#cfgadm -al
