Physical disk hot-swapping

Hot swapping is the manual replacement of a disk while the PERC 12 series cards are online and performing their normal functions. Ensure that the following requirements are met before hot-swapping a physical disk:

  • The system backplane or enclosure must support hot-swapping.
  • To perform a rebuild or copyback operation, the replacement drive must be of the same protocol and disk technology. For example, only a SAS hard drive can replace a SAS hard drive and only a SATA SSD can replace a SATA SSD.
NOTE:To check if the backplane supports hot-swapping, see the platform-specific Installation and Service Manual available on the support site.
