Hot-swapping regular SATA HDDs?
Added by Andreas Hilboll about 1 year ago
Hi there,
I was wondering if Nexenta supports hot-swapping SATA drives which are connected to a 'normal' SATA controller (onboard VIA Epia-SN)? I'm not sure whether hot-swapping is a feature of the case, the controller, or the software
- or any combination of these ...
Thanks,
Andreas.

According my experience, you need to see the SATA ports in cfgadm then you can do something like (not exactly sure about the sequence)
- zpool offline poolname devicename
- cfgadm -c unconfigue portname
- remove the disk physically
- put in a new one
- cfgadm -x reset portname
- cfgadm -c configue portname
- zpool online poolname devicename or maybe zpool replace poolname devicename
OSol is a bit picky if you pull out a disk without unconfiguring it
