Replacing the SAN Volume Controller 2145-8F4 or SAN Volume Controller 2145-8F2 SATA disk drive

This topic describes how to replace the SATA (serial advanced technology attachment) disk drive for the SAN Volume Controller 2145-8F2 and the SAN Volume Controller 2145-8F4 nodes.

1. Slide the disk drive into the bay until the rear of the drive snaps into place with the rear panel-mount connector.
2. Install the service controller. See Replacing the service controller.
   
3. Place the node in the rack. See Replacing the SAN Volume Controller in a rack.
   
4. Reconnect the power cords and the fibre-channel and Ethernet cables. Ensure that you replace the fibre-channel and Ethernet cables in the same ports from which they were removed.
   
5. Turn on the node. When you turn on the node, use the node rescue procedure to install the SAN Volume Controller software on the new disk. Then add the node back into the cluster. See Performing the node rescue.
   
   Note: If you must replace the hard disk and the service controller at the same time, you cannot start the node to perform node rescue. See Replacing a disk drive and a service controller on the SAN Volume Controller.
