Welcome to the unity 2.5 inch disk drive replacement demonstration. For more detailed instructions. I was referred to the applicable procedure on support dot ec dot com to begin, we're going to log into unisphere using the admin account. As we can see on the unity dashboard in the system health window.
There are two hardware issues reported. Click the hardware icon to view more details. This brings us to the system view page here. We can see that the disk processor enclosure or D pe disc 23 needs attention. Let's click on it for more information. Now we can see where the D pe disk drive number 23 is located.
If the faulty disc was in an optional disk array enclosure or DAE instead of the D pe, the link would bring you to the proper DAE enclosure view. We can also take a look at the alerts page to confirm the problem. Here. We see four alerts that would be generated from a faulted disk drive that is not part of a disk pool.
Now that we have identified which drive to replace, let's go to the front of the store system and replace it. Identify the faulted disk by the amber fault led, push down on the disc's orange release button to release its latch. Slowly pull the disk straight out about one inch from a slot and wait 30 seconds for it to stop spinning. Then pull the disk completely out of the slot.
Align the replacement disk drive with the guides in the slot. With the disk carrier latch fully opened, gently, push the disc into the slot, push the handle down to engage the latch. The disc activity, light flashes to reflect the disc's spin up sequence to check the disc drive status, log back into unisphere.
Begin by navigating to the system view. Click on the enclosures tab and then select the D pe front view. Here. We can see that D pe dis 23 is now operating normally. Now let's check the alerts page and we can see now that the storage system is operating normally to complete the replacement task.
We're going to acknowledge all the alerts and log out of unisphere. This completes the unity 2.5 inch disk drive replacement demonstration.
