You mean pull it out? Does your hardware support hotswap?

And even more to the point, do the Solaris drivers support hotswap on
your hardware?  When I was first inquring about hotswap hardware
(about which I knew nothing then) nobody warned me about this, and I'm
now the proud owner of a fine case with 8 hot-swap bays which work
fine -- but it turns out that Solaris doesn't support hotswap on the
SATA controllers on my  motherboard, although it access the disks
through them fine.

In fact, it turns out (read recent postings) that even chipsets it
claims to support are still being issued on new hardware in steppings
that aren't actually supported.

This area seems to be a major minefield currently.
