P2000 G3 - Can you rearrange the physical drives
We have a P2000 G3 FC / iSCSI system with several vdisks, volumes, etc. We'd like to rearrange the physical drives so that drives in the same vdisks are located contiguously to each other (ease of mainteance / documentation / OCD / etc). Will the P2000 allow this, or will we have to either recreate the vdisks or just live with the current mess?

Re: P2000 G3 - Can you rearrange the physical drives
Hello, I am afraid it requires lot of manual time and rebuilding. It would by much better to delete everything and recreate arrays as you wish..
But - is seems it is only cosmetic issue, it doesn't really matter where are disks located from functional point of view...

Re: P2000 G3 - Can you rearrange the physical drives
It dosnet really matter in an Vdisk if the hard disks are connected in a sequential manner. You can always do so, however if you want to move the hard disk from slot 8 to slot 2 it may corrupt the vdisk.
If you want to do so, the best option is to back up everything and recreate the vdisks

Re: P2000 G3 - Can you rearrange the physical drives
I also want to rearrange the disks. The way HP pre-installed the disks was enclosure 1 disk 1, enclosure 2 disk 1, so they basically populated top to down and started again going towards to right, then top to down, etc. Am I protected if I have a enclosure failure? If not, can I turn off the MSA and rearrage the disks and turn back on and will it discover the new drives location? (like in the old MSA1500cs days?)
