Are these discs interchangeable?

[Mike Fisher_5]

Hi all

I know the part numbers are different,
but will L-Class discs HotPlug into an SC10 & vice versa?
[I thought I'd just check before I make a bigggggg expensive mistake :)]

Someone will say "Yes, with a good hammer anything is possible".

The real problem is support. If some problem arise, then a call towards HP will get nothing, because the hw config will be unsupported...

Mike,

They should be OK. We have a number of L-class servers and SC10's, and we use the same 18.2GB LVD disks in all of them.

Had no problems getting replacements sent out, and never been asked what sort of unit the disk is to go into.

Massimo:
Thanks for the advice, but I've never known an HP field engineer to kick up a fuss about part numbers
Life's too short & why should they worry?

Chris & George:
Thanks guys have a brace of bunnies
