This section describes how to replace a failed disk drive in a P-7500 system by first shutting it down and removing it, then installing a new disk drive.Each P-7500 system comes with two disk drives pre-installed in drive bays on the left side of the system. The disk drives are pre-configured as a RAID 1 array.The following tools and equipment are required to remove and install a disk drive in a P-7500 system:
1. Enter the enable command at the User EXEC Level prompt:
2. (Recommended) As a precaution, create a local backup of the configuration database files on the P-7500 system and then store the backup file on an external remote server:
a. Ensure that you have a remote server on the P-7500 network to which you have IP connectivity.
b. Enter the backup Privileged EXEC command to immediately create a manual local backup of your configuration database file on the P-7500 system:
Note: CLI show commands may fail if run while the local backup is being created.(Optional) To confirm your local backup was created successfully, enter the show backup User EXEC command.
c. Enter the copy Privileged EXEC command to copy the desired configuration database file to the remote server from the P-7500 system:where username, ip-addr, and remote-pathname point to the location where the current configuration database file is copied onto the remote server.
3. Confirm that the disk drive is in failure by entering the show disk User EXEC command:An example display from show disk with a failed disk drive is:
5. Enter the configure command at the Privileged EXEC level prompt:
6. Enter the hardware command at the Global CONFIG level:
7. Enable the new disk drive using the disk no shutdown Hardware CONFIG command:
8. Enter the reload Privileged EXEC command to restart the system:
2. Remove the faceplate by firmly pulling the faceplate off and away from the front of the chassis.
3. Locate the disk drive you want to remove, based on the information from the show disk User EXEC command (refer to Shutting Down a Failed Disk Drive).Figure 4 Unscrewing Hard Drive LatchFigure 5 Using the Hard Drive Latch
c. Holding the drive latch, pull the disk drive completely out of the system drive bay (refer to Figure 6).Figure 6 Removing the Hard DriveTo install either a new CHS-HDD250-01-A or CHS-SSD080-01-A disk drive, perform the following procedure:
2. Release the drive latch on the new TIBCO-approved disk drive by turning the thumbscrews on the right.
4. For P-7500 systems with disk drive CHS-SSD080-01-A, perform the following sub-steps (otherwise go to step 5.):
a. Open the lid on the disk drive by using your thumbs to slide the lid forward from the front (Figure 8).
b. Gently lift the lid upward to reveal the disk drive carrier and failed Solid State Drive (SSD) (Figure 9).
e. Set the new SSD flat onto the bottom of the rail inside the disk drive carrier, label side up, oriented as shown in Figure 10.
g. Close the lid on the disk drive by using your thumbs to slide the lid backward to the front until it clicks back into place (Figure 11).
a. Position the faceplate over the fan tray so that the bezel (front) aligns with the front of the chassis.
b. Align the four male push pins in the four corners of the faceplate with the female receptacles on the chassis (refer to Figure 13).Figure 13 Installing the Faceplate
c. Press firmly in on the faceplate until the push pins engage, and the faceplate is flat against the front of the chassis.
8. Enable the new disk drive using the disk no shutdown Hardware CONFIG command:where <1 or 2> specifies 1 or 2 for the number of the new disk drive.
9. Confirm that the new disk drive is in waiting for rebuild mode by entering the show disk User EXEC command:An example display from show disk with a waiting-for-rebuild disk is:
10. Enter the exit command twice:
11. Enter the admin command at the Privileged EXEC level prompt:
12. Start rebuilding the new disk drive by entering the rebuild Disk Admin EXEC command:
13. To shorten the time required for the disk rebuild, enter the rebuild-speed high Disk Admin EXEC command, then y for yes to continue:
14. Confirm that the new disk drive is recovering by entering the show disk User EXEC command:After the system disk rebuild and recovery process is complete, you see a CLI banner and Admin EXEC Level prompt on your computer screen similar to:
