Physical disk hot swapping

  • NOTE: Shared PERC 8 supports physical disk hot-swapping, however this should only be implemented for unconfigured or failed drives.
Hot swapping is the manual replacement of a disk while the Shared PERC 8 card is online and performing the normal functions. The following requirements must be fulfilled before performing a hot swap of a physical disk:
  • The replacement disk must be of the same protocol and disk technology. For example, only a SAS hard drive can replace a SAS hard drive.
  • The replacement disk must be of equal or greater capacity than the one it is replacing.
