Removing a Disk with Data Using the Hot
Removability Feature
The following procedure describes how to remove
a disk that contains data, in order to move the disk to another system without
turning the system off.
Prerequisites
The disk you are removing must be in a
separate non-rootvg volume group. To verify that the disk is in a separate
non-rootvg volume group, list configuration information for volume groups
see "Managing Logical Volume Storage"
.
Procedure
- Unmount any file systems on the logical
volumes on the disk using the procedure "Unmounting a File System on a Removeable Disk".
- Deactivate and export the volume group in which
the disk resides; unconfigure the disk and turn it off using the procedure "Remove a disk with data from the
operating system".
If the operation is successful, a message
indicates the cabinet number and disk number of the disk to be removed.
- If the disk is placed at the front side of the
cabinet, the disk shutter should automatically open.
- Ensure that the yellow LED is off for the disk
you want to remove.
- Physically remove the disk. For more
information about the removal procedure, see the section on removal in
