MD3200 upgrade disks
Hi
I have MD3200 array with 12 2TB NLSAS HDDs. Almost all disk space in the disk pool used. I wanna change all HDDs to 8TB (sure, all of them with Dell P/N). Can I do it without losing data?
Thank you

Hello warmech7,
You can change the drives 1 at a time, however you will not see the new space. You will need to backup the virtual disk & then restore it once the new drives are installed. When your virtual disk was created it was based off the 2TB drives and can only be expanded by creating the virtual disk with the new drives installed.
Please let us know if you have any other questions.
