You are safe to drop the files in /etc without issue

Disk model information is hard-coded in Data ONTAP. If your disks are qualified by this hard-coded information, you can use disks without any problem.
However, if your disks are not qualified by hard-coded database and disk qualification package, disks are not recognized correctly like below:
* wrong disk model name
* wrong RPM
* wrong capacity

As far As I know, updating DQP has no issue.
