Hot-Plug Addition of a Second System Drive in
Octel Overture 250
With Aria 1.2, you can add a second system drive to an Octel Overture 250 that has only one
system drive without shutting down the server. This is similar to the procedure used with Aria 1.1
to add message drives. Add a second system drive to an Octel Overture 250 as follows:
1. Contact the Octel Technical Assistance Center and have the service option enabled.
2. Insert the new system drive into the empty system-drive slot (0 or 1).
3. From the SMT Main Menu, access Menu option 20 – Service Operations.
4. Enter the number for Drive Install Utilities.
5. Enable the drive, as follows:
a. From the Drive Install Utilities menu, enter the number for the Enable Drive utility.
b. At Enter drive to be enabled [0–6]:, enter the number of the new system drive to be
enabled. The server copies software to the new system drive.
c. At Enable drive complete. Press any key to continue., press any key to return to the
Drive Install Utilities menu. The green LED on the drive should light.
6. From the Drive Install Utilities menu, enter the number for the Install Drive utility.
7. At Enter the drive to be installed [0–5]:, enter the number of the new system drive to be
installed.
8. At Is this the correct drive? (y/n):, enter Y if the serial number shown is correct.
9. If this is not the first time a drive has been installed in this slot, the server runs garbage
collect on the drive. If the first pass of garbage collect reports any scramble codes or I/O
errors, contact the Octel Technical Assistance Center. Do not continue.
10. When the installation is complete, press any key to return to the Drive Install Utilities menu.
11. Enter the number for the Drive Status option, and use the Drive Status screen to verify that
the new system drive is running.
12. Enter Ctrl–C twice to return to the Main Menu.
13. Contact the Octel Technical Assistance Center and have the service option disabled.
