Replacing 8 x 600 GB - asking for help (VNX5300)

Hi,

Any suggestions how to replace the existing unbound 8 x 600 GB SAS to 8 x 2 TB NL-SAS?

  • Is there any documentation for this? I saw only "How to replaced faulted disk".
  • Do we still need USM or just remove it with the power, then replace 2 TB disks then configure...
  • Do we need an engineering mode to do this?

Thanks in advance

Hi,

Since the 8 x 600 SAS drives are unbound disks,Just remove the SAS drives

and replace with NL SAS drives.

Regards,

Mahesh

Mahesh,

Is it safe to do this even the power is on?
