Download and install Isilon Procedure generator, from support.emc.com website. It is pretty simple and easy to use. Just select the type of nodes and stuff and it will generate a step by step procedure to replace a HDD.

Hope this helps!

is that available to customers or employee/partners only ?

Haha... Ya they should give access to Customers too. If you have support website access why don't you give it a try. It will be the first search result.

It is available for Partners and EMC Employees only.

just tried to search for "isilon procedure generator" ..nothing.

HI All,

  Look like I cannot replace just take the HDD out and Insert?

No, you just cannot pull out one and replace it with new one. You need to SmartFail the particular drive before you physically swap it with a new one.

Were you able to get your hands on Isilon Procedure Generator?

Also,

When the new drive is installed, you’ll want to either click the ‘Add’ Button next to that drive in the GUI, or use this syntax at the CLI:
