Hot-Plugging a Hard Drive
The hard disk drives in the Sun Fire T2000 server are hot-pluggable, but this
capability depends on how the hard drives are configured. To hot plug a drive you
must be able to take the drive offline (prevent any applications from accessing it,
and remove the logical software links to it) before you can safely remove it.
The following situations inhibit the ability to perform hot-plugging of a drive:
■
The hard drive provides the operating system, and the operating system is not
mirrored on another drive.
■
The hard drive cannot be logically isolated from the online operations of the
server
If your drive falls into these conditions, you must shut the system down before you
replace the hard drive. See
“To Shut the System Down” on page 68
