https://community.hpe.com/t5/disk-enclosures/msa1000-drive-roaming/m-p/4473790#M32251 We have an MSA1000 with 2 shelves.<BR />The setup we have is 1x RAID ADG array with 10x 146GB drives across 2 shelves(6 on top and 4 on lower)and an additional 2x spare 146GB drives on the top shelf. The array then consists of 4x logical drives.<BR /><BR />We wish to move the 4 disks on the lower shelf up to free spaces on the top shelf.<BR /><BR />We have 2 Netware servers configured as cluster nodes via 2x FC switches. <BR /><BR />I understand from reading other forum posts that I need to power down the MSA1000 before moving the disks. My questions are:<BR /><BR />1. The firmware on the MSA1000 on both controllers is 4.32.B300. Should there be any issues with drive roaming and this fw version?<BR /><BR />2. Am I right to assume that all the logical drives will stay intact despite the disks being moved?
