6. Insert the replacement physical drive in the drive bay where the failed drive
was located. The physical drive must be of the same capacity as the failed
drive. Be sure that all cable connections are secure.
For replacements in a ProLiant server or storage system, after you secure
the drive in the bay, the LEDs on the drive each light once in an
alternating pattern to indicate that the connection was successful. The
Online LED turns green, indicating that the controller has recognized and
successfully initialized the replacement drive. If the Online LED does
not light after a few minutes, verify that you added the new drive in the
same slot as the failed drive and that the drive capacity is the same as the
failed drive.
7. Activate the replaced device. Use the MONITOR.NLM Disk Information
option to select the device. Some versions of NetWare will cause a
“device activate” to occur automatically when this option is chosen.
Other versions of NetWare require manual activation of the device by
changing the operating status to active. If reactivation of the failed
logical drive is successful, the driver sends a console alert.
8. Use the INSTALL.NLM option Change Hot Fix (look at the information
provided about the mirrored drive, not the failed drive) to determine the
number of Hot Fix Redirection blocks set up for this partition. Refer to
the section “Using CPQDAOPT on NetWare Servers,” in Chapter 5 for
more information about optimizing the performance on NetWare 3.12
servers.
9. Use the INSTALL.NLM to delete and create the partition on the repaired
logical drive.
NOTE: Although the logical drive may have a valid partition table, the data on
this logical drive is no longer valid. Some data may appear valid because the
failed physical drive was only a portion of the arrayed logical drive. However,
there is a hole in the logical drive data at this point. Delete any old, invalid data
and create a new partition on the logical drive.
10. Return to the INSTALL.NLM Disk Options menu.
NOTE: If you are not running intraNetWare SFTIII or NetWare 4.x, you might
be able to skip to Step 11.
Use the Mirroring selection to locate the Out of Sync partition. The
device number for the Out of Sync partition should match the previously
failed device number. Select the Out of Sync partition.
