Replacing an extensible storage location
When the DS-System cannot access any of its storage locations, the DS-System service will stop. In the event of hardware failure on an extensible storage location, we recommend you contact your service provider for technical support.
NOTE:  If there is nothing wrong with the extensible storage location but you want to replace it with better hardware, we recommend you retire the storage location to avoid DS-System downtime. For more information, see “Retiring an extensible storage location”.
