Preparing for Removal

Before you remove a CRU, the storage management software checks to see if another CRU should be serviced first. If you can safely remove a CRU, the Service Action Allowed (SAA) LED on the CRU comes on.


Note:

Not all of the CRUs have an SAA LED. If a CRU has failed, follow the instructions in the Recovery Guru to make sure that you can safely remove the CRU.


Note:

The Recovery Guru only looks for other dependent hardware CRUs in the enclosure that you have selected. If your storage subsystem currently has a Needs Attention status, you must verify by using the Recovery Guru that you do not have a loss path redundancy problem affecting the selected enclosure. If that problem exists, you must resolve it first before running the Recovery Guru.


Attention:

Possible loss of data accessibility – Use this option only when instructed to do so by the Recovery Guru or by a representative. For CRUs that have an SAA LED, after the SAA LED comes on, you cannot turn it off without removing the CRU or contacting a representative.
