Array 6402
The question is this. My boss has asked wether we really need to swap all of the 6 drives for new ones. Would we get away with only swapping 5 of the drives and leaving one slot empty.
I am really not sure how this would work.

Re: Array 6402
The probably depends on how the drives are configured at the moment.
If for example the 6 drives are configured as 3 RAID-1 mirrors, then it would probably be difficult...
Hope this helps,
Regards,
Rob

Re: Array 6402
I don't think that is possible why?
right now the parity and data for the RAID 5 is spread along 6 HDDs so using 5 HDDs you are going to lost 1 HDD for data and parity so there is not way to pull that data and parity to less HDD on the other hand if they were 7 HDDs yes you can

Re: Array 6402
But if all disk are not of 146GB then they will work on 72GB.
Process for moving from lower -> higher capacity disk.
Note: take backup then do it. This link is for Netserver. But WORK'S GR8 FOR PROLIANT ALSO. I have checked it by myself
