Is the scsi hard drive of a meridian mail is hot swap ? - PBX Info :: Your Free PBX, PABX and Telephone Information Resource

Hi !
I'm still using an old meridian mail inside 2 cabinet of a 81c pbx (meridian mail release 12.12.7, platform EC-MMP40 with 4 nodes and disk shadoing).

My primary hard drive of node 1 is in no access, and it's impossible to sync the drive. The meridian mail is still working (on the 2nd drive, the shadow one).

My question is: Can I remove the primary hard drive when the meridian mail is still online ? Is the meridian mail can have a hot swap hard drive ?

Thanks !

Uh No, I am trying to remember training from 10 years ago, but the mail shelf must be taken down, and in maintenance mode to sync new drive.
It has been awhile,,,,,,,,,,,,

yes.. definately not hot swappable.. you have to power down the node. replace the drive. go into Hardware maintenance and resync the drives.. which takes a while

Thanks !

I'll try a last resync tonignt when the mail will be in "sleep mode" !

If it's still impossible to sync, I'll do the long procedure.
