VNX - Drives removal
Hi,
I'm looking to confirm some informations.
Let's say i have a VNX with several Pool containing Raid Group. There is lots of SAS drives and some NLSAS. Is it possible to remove a drive from a configured slot and replace it by another type of drive, lets say EFD.
This without first destroying the pool/Raid group that have this drive configured ?
Thank you,
Chris

Short answer - no. You cannot replace existing drives in the pool once they are configured. If you need to add EFD, you will need to add them to the pool - you cannot swap your SAS or NLSAS drives for EFD.
Let us know if that helps
