If the Recovery Guru in SANtricity System Manager has notified you of an impending drive

failure, but the drive has not yet failed, follow the instructions in the Recovery Guru to fail

the drive.

If needed, use SANtricity System Manager to confirm you have a suitable replacement

drive.

–

Select Hardware.

–

Select the failed drive on the unit graphic.

–

Click the drive to display the context menu, then select View settings.

–

Confirm that the replacement drive has a capacity equal to or greater than the drive

you are replacing and that it has the features you expect.

For example, do not attempt to replace a hard disk drive (HDD) with a solid-state

disk (SSD). Similarly, if you are replacing a secure-capable drive, make sure the

replacement drive is also secure-capable.

If needed, use SANtricity System Manager to locate the drive within the storage unit.

–

If the unit has a bezel, remove it so you can see the LEDs.

–

From the drive's context menu, select Turn on locator light.

The drive's amber Attention LED blinks so you can identify which drive to replace.
