Primary disk replacement failure

Kenneth Woolard — Sat, 20 Sep 2008 18:11:58 GMT

Working on a L3000-8x (rp5430 ?) and the primary boot disk has failed.
Found out when a did a reboot and saw it was booting up of the Alternate boot disk.
Also checked EMS poutpur to confirm the disk was bad and it was.

Disk in question isa HP 36.4GB MAM3367MC

My question is:-

Is this hot-swappable? and if it is will it sutomatically sync up with the alternate boot disk or do I have to go through the process of creating the mirrors back on the primary ?

You will have to create the mirror yourself. The steps are listed in this document.

Hi,
You have to put new samconfiguration disk it will automatically sync.
Otherwise you have to create fresh mirror.
