Removing a failed hard disk drive

If you detect failure in disk drive on a mirrored system, you must remove and replace it with a good one.

To remove a failed hard disk drive:

1. If you are not logged in, log in as root.
2. At the command prompt, enter stop_vs.

   The voice system stops.

3. Enter mirror_admin detach.

   The system displays the following prompt:

   Prompt for hard disk drive to detach

4. Type the number that corresponds to the hard disk drive to detach and press Enter.

   The system detaches all submirrors from the failed hard disk drive.

5. Physically remove the failed hard disk drive.

   For information on how to remove a disk drive, see the Sun Fire V210 and V240 Servers Parts Replacement Manual or the Sun Fire 280R Server Service Manual.

When you are ready to install the replacement drive, see Activating disk mirroring for a new hard disk drive.
