To remove and replace a disk drive or solid-state drive in a different enclosure, use the information for that enclosure.
Use this procedure to remove a failed disk drive or solid-state drive and replace it with the same type of disk drive or solid-state drive. If you plan to remove a disk drive or solid-state drive and install a different type of disk drive or solid-state drive, remove the existing disk drive or solid-state drive.
The system or logical partition can be turned off or turned on when you replace the disk drive or solid-state drive. If the disk drive or solid-state drive that is being replaced is in the AIX®, IBM® i, or Linux root volume group (rootvg) and does not have disk protection, or if it is a PCI Express (PCIe) RAID adapter with integrated solid-state disk drives, then replace the disk drive or solid-state drive by using the procedure for replacing with the power turned off.
