Removing and replacing the disk unit in a shadowed EC 11
Standard 1.0 Option 11 EC Installation and Maintenance Guide November 1999
Replacing the primary
disk
To replace the primary disk in a shadowed system, follow
these steps.
Step Action
1 Disable disk shadowing.
2 Courtesy down the system.
3 Power down the EC 11.
4 To remove the disk drives for the affected node,
open the locklatches on the primary and secondary
disk drive plates for the affected node, and gently
pull the drive plates forward until they clear the MSU
mounting plates. Remove the disk cover plates as
necessary, to gain access to the jumpers.
5 Change the SCSI address on the existing
secondary
drive to make it the
primary
drive; that is, change the
SCSI address on the secondary drive from 2 to 0 by
removing the ID jumper in the second pin position.
See Chapter 6, “Installing the disk drives and the
tape drive” for the corresponding diagram of ID pin
locations for the type of disk drive supplied.
6 Set the SCSI address on the replacement disk to 2
by removing any ID jumpers and inserting a jumper
on the header in the second pin position. This
makes the replacement drive the new
secondary
drive.
7 Ensure that parity is enabled. See the corresponding
diagram for jumper settings.
8 Ensure that the terminators are disabled by
removing the Terminating Enable (TE) jumper.
9 Install the new (now secondary) disk into the slot 10
MSU plate, and the old (now primary) disk with the
power pack into the slot 12 MSU plate.
10 Power up and restart the system.
11 Synchronize the disks.
Result: The system copies data from the primary
disk to the secondary disk. Refer to the “Enabling/
disabling disk shadowing” topic on page 16-13.
