OK; given the above definitions, could you please confirm one way
or another that the disks in the X2100 are hot pluggable? In other
words, if I have a pair of mirrored drives in an X2100 and one of
those drives dies, can I take out and replace the defective drive
without down time?
NO - unless you're running Windows AND "chipset RAID" (or whatever
you want to call it). This is easily verified by experiment with
Solaris 10.
More information via links I posted earlier in this thread, or buried
in X2100 documentation.
