Replace an M-100 Appliance Disk Drive
Replace an M-100 Appliance Disk Drive
The M-100 appliance has eight drive bays and each drive pair (A1 and A2 for example) is in an independent RAID 1 array. This redundant configuration ensures that there is no service interruption or loss of log data if a disk drive fails.
CAUTION: Do not attempt to replace a drive with a third-party drive. Also, do not mix drive models within a RAID 1 array (for example, the drive model must be the same for both drives in the A1/A2 RAID 1 array). You can, however, mix drive models in different RAID 1 arrays. For example, the drives in the A1/A2 array can both be model
ST91000640NS and the drives in the B1/B2 array can both be model ST1000NX0423.
1.
Place an anti-static wrist strap around your wrist and connect it to ground.
2.
Identify the failed drive and note the drive model by running the following operational command and viewing the status and model fields:
