How to Repair a Defunct Drive by IBM ServeRAID Manager 9
Environment
Introduction
Received a notification of defunct drive
Solutions
Run a IBM ServeRAID Manager connecting to the server for the FRU part number
Then, went to remove the defunct drive
When removed, should show
Now, Replaced the hard disk to be FRU - 90P1310, because it's the same connectivity - Ultra320 SCSI - 80 pin Centronics (SCA-2) as the FRU - 397310 one
Scanned for the new hard drive
Then, set it to be a hot-spare drive
That can also be via a wizard
