This document is for Smart-1 225, Smart-1 3050 and Smart-1 3150 models.
Important - Make sure that you are electromagnetically grounded when
doing these procedures. ESD (electrostatic discharge) can damage the
appliance.

Removing a Hard Disk Drive
Item
Description
1
Ejector handle
2
Hard drive casing
To remove a hard disk drive:
1. On the hard disk drive, push left on the ejector handle to unlock the drive.
Important - Do not use the ejector handle to remove the hard disk drive
from the appliance. If you pull too hard on the ejector handle, it can break off
from the hard drive casing.
2. Hold the hard drive casing and remove the hard disk drive from the appliance.

Installing a Hard Disk Drive
Insert the replacement hard disk drive into the appliance.
To install a hard disk drive:
1. Hold the hard drive casing and insert the replacement hard disk drive into the slot.
2. Push the extraction handle to close it.
The hard disk drive clicks into position.
Attaching RAID ID Stickers
When replacing or adding hard disk drives, attach the number labels to the disks, as
shown in the diagrams. For Smart-1 3050 and Smart-1 3150, the numbers agree with the
RAID DiskNumber. You see the DiskNumber when you monitor the RAID status of the
disks ("Monitoring RAID Synchronization" on page 7).

Adding or Replacing a Hard Disk Drive
To keep RAID efficiency and prevent degradation, replace or install new disks while the
appliance is switched on. Replacing disks when the appliance is off is not supported.
Note: Supported RAID modes change according to the number of disks in the appliance.

To add a new hard disk drive:
To learn how to add a new hard drive, see the Smart-1 225/3050/3150 RAID
Administration Guide
(http://supportcontent.checkpoint.com/documentation_download?ID=32479).
To replace a hard disk drive:
1. Log in to the appliance.
2. Enter Expert mode.
3. When the system is up, run raid_diagnostics to check the RAID state of the
disks.
The example shows that DiskNumber:1 to DiskNumber:6 are in State:Online
4. Remove the hard disk from the slot.
5. The RAID alarm starts. To stop the alarm, run
raidconfig alarmoff
6. Wait 15 seconds after removing the disk.
Run raid_diagnostics to confirm that the disk is not part of the RAID
configuration.
The example shows that DiskNumber:6 is in State:MISSING

7. Insert a new hard disk.
The system automatically adds the new hard disk to the RAID configuration.
8. Run raid_diagnostics to confirm.
The example shows that DiskNumber:6 is in State:REBUILD. The SyncState
shows the synchronization progress.
9. After the SyncState is at 100%, turn on the the RAID alarm by running
raidconfig alarmon

Monitoring RAID Synchronization
You can monitor the RAID status of the disks to see when the hard disks are
synchronized. If you reboot the appliance before the hard disks are synchronized, the
synchronization starts again at the next boot.
To monitor the RAID status of the disks - CLI:
1. Log in to the appliance.
2. Enter expert mode.
3. Use one of these tools to monitor the RAID status of the hard disks:
Run raid_diagnostic
This shows data about the RAID and hard disks, with the percent
synchronization done.
The numbered labels on the hard disk drawers of the appliance agree with the
DiskNumber value in the output of the raid_diagnostic command.
This is an example output for Smart-1 225. DiskID 0 is the left hard disk.
DiskID 1 is the right hard disk.
Run cpstat os –f raidInfo
This shows almost the same information as the raid_diagnostic command in
tabular format

To monitor the RAID status of the disks - Gaia WebUI:
In the Gaia WebUI, go to the Maintenance > RAID Monitoring page.
To monitor the RAID status of the disks - SmartView Monitor:
1. Open SmartView Monitor.
2. Click All Gateways.
3. Select the Smart-1 Gateway.
4. Click System Information.
5. Click RAID Volumes.
