Hi Raghu,
Is this an RP/SE installed system as you mentioned the VNX arrays?

Ok. You need tin use the DM Replacement RPA wizard but because it is RP/SE you will need to spoof the WWNs on the Gen6 RPAs from the GEn4 RPAs. This is part of the replacement process which non-disruptive. The CGs running on the RPA to be replaced will be temporarily moved to another RPA in the cluster as part of the process and then moved back again when the process has completed.
