REPLACING A FAILED DISK ON A
VCX SERVER
This appendix includes procedures for replacing a failed disk on each type
of VCX server. If a disk drive failure occurs on a VCX server, use the
appropriate procedure in this appendix to replace the failed disk and
bring the VCX server back into service.
RAID Disk Failure Some VCX servers use RAID (Redundant Array of Independent Disks)
technology. This section describes how to replace a failed RAID disk.
Disk Failure
Notification
A RAID disk failure generates an SNMP (System Network Management
Protocol) trap message. Network management software uses such a trap
message to change the visible status of the VCX server and alert you of a
problem.
Identifying the Failed
Disk
To identify a failed disk on a VCX server, log in on the server and enter
this command:
vcx-raid-status
You can obtain more or less information by using one of these
commands:
vcx-raid-status --verbose
vcx-raid-status --short

the front of the server. Disk drive 1 is located in the right slot.
On an IBM x345 or x346 server, Disk drive 0 is located in the upper slot as
you face the front of the server. Disk drive 1 is located in the lower slot.
On a 3Com V6000 server, Disk drive0 is located in the left slot as you face
