Welcome to the Dell E MC unity XT crew removal and replacement series. In this series of short videos, we're gonna use Unisphere and UEM cli commands to identify faulted custom replaceable units on a Dell E MC unity XT storage system.
We'll then look at the ways to prepare the system for service, including service mode and reset and hold modes will demonstrate the removal and replacement of the faulted crew and finally verify the replacement crew is working correctly.
One of the first things you want to do is to log on to the storage system using the Unisphere interface. This requires that you have initialized the system and provided an IP address in your browser.
And once you do that, you're gonna be brought to the page that you see here, you're gonna have to have a user name along with a password. That combination was uh also set up during the initialization process.
And once you provide those correct credentials, we'll be able to log in and view the dashboard page. So we've logged on to the dashboard with the Unisphere and uh we can see that uh it doesn't appear to show any errors.
So we're just gonna show you how to replace a, a disc and locate them. So we go to enclosures and in this particular case, uh we have ad A E uh on bus one enclosure zero. And we're looking at in our example, we clicked on disc 14.
So you can see the disc a numbered from the left to right, 0 to 14 respectively. And to replace the A 3.5 inch disc, it's, it's really easy. You're gonna see a amber fault led and you're gonna pull that out and you, you let that sit there for 30 seconds or so.
So the torque, uh, sort of winds down, then you just pull it straight out and then, uh, get the replacement disk all light it into the slots, push it in gently and go ahead and, uh, latch it down.
You're gonna hear it click and after some time you should see the disc, uh, come back online, uh, ready. And of course, you could always, uh, view the, uh, the disc itself to make sure it's, it's, uh, in good shape by going back to the, uh, uh, front of the system and making sure it was, uh, ready. So it's a simple, uh, 3.5 inch disk drive replacement.
