7.2.7 Hard Disk Drives
NOTE: If the drives are plugged into a RAID controller, you can “hot swap” drives;
that is, you can add or replace drives without first shutting down the operating
system or powering down the server hardware. For more information, see the
StorageWorks RAID Array Subsystem Family Installation and Configuration Guide.
If the drives are not plugged into a RAID controller, you will need to shut down the
operating system before swapping a drive. However, you will not need to power
down the server before installing the drives.
