The consensus was as suspected, 'it's ok' - just need to fmthard the vtoc from another (one of the older smaller disks) in the volume. Only drawback is a slight waste of space...

To: sunmanagers@sunmanagers.org Hi, We have a Disksuite 4.2.1/Solaris 8 machine with which currently has 36.4GB Seagate SCSI drives in a storage pack (Raid5&&0+1) We can order IBM 36GB disks a lot quicker than we can the Seagate 36GB disks; problem is the IBM 36GB disks are ever so slightly larger than the Seagates. Question is: if we replace a failed Seagate with the IBM 36GB disk, are we likely to run into any 'issue's (assume we partition the disk identically for the partitions we're mirroring etc.) [we're running with the 108693-04 4.2.1 product patch] Or, more generally, anyone know of any issues at all in basically replacing a disk with a larger one in Disksuite? cheers, Mike _______________________________________________ sunmanagers mailing list sunmanagers@sunmanagers.org http://www.sunmanagers.org/mailman/listinfo/sunmanagersReceived on Wed Jun 13 07:53:36 2001
