Isilon Gen 4 drive options

We have an Isilon NL400 cluster with a failed 3TB drive (HDD, SEAGATE ST3000NM0063). It is my understanding that this drive is end of life. A replacement option would be a 4TB drive (Seagate Exos 7E8 ST4000NM003A - hard drive - 4 TB - SAS 12Gb/s).

Are there any limitation to these nodes that will prevent a 4TB drive functioning properly? Also, we are running OneFS 8.1.2.0. Will we have an issue where licensing is concerned? I know the Gen6 Isilon have a capacity license piece to it.

Thanks for your guidance.

    It has to be drive ordered thru Dell EMC or OneFS will not recognize it. They will tell you what can be ordered.

    @PhilLam,

    Thanks for responding. I was advised that the drive has to be the exact same specs. I was able to source a few.

    Thanks.
