Disk drive

Use this procedure to replace the disk drive.

Your system can be powered off or powered on when you replace the disk drive. If the system is running, you can replace a disk drive with the power on. If it is not, or if the disk drive to be replaced is in the AIX® or Linux root volume group (rootvg) and it is not protected with either a redundant array of independent disks (RAID) or mirroring, use the procedure for replacing the disk drive with the power off.

  1. Do you want to replace the disk drive concurrently with system operations and the unit powered on?
  2. Choose the procedure for the operating system running in the partition that the disk drive resource is assigned to.

    For AIX, go to Replace the disk drive using AIX .

    For Linux, go to Replace the disk drive using Linux .

    For IBM® i, go to Replace the disk drive using IBM i.
