The customer in question is going to move the FAS2040 to a branch office. I am using snapmirror for data migration, and all of the data will be removed from the old FAS2040 after migration is complete. Are there any gotchas here?</P><P></P><P>The steps are something like this:</P><P>1. Complete data migration and verify that aggregates on old FAS2040 can be deleted.</P><P>2. Delete aggregates on old FAS2040.</P><P>3. Power down FAS2040.</P><P>4. Move DS4243 shelves to new FAS2240.</P><P>5. Assign new disks on new FAS2240 as needed.</P><P>6. Reconfigure old FAS2040 for the branch office.</P><P></P><P>Am I missing anything here?</P></BODY></HTML> Thu, 05 Jun 2025 06:27:24 GMT https://community.netapp.com/t5/ONTAP-Hardware/Moving-shelves-from-FAS2040-to-FAS2240-gotchas/m-p/47509#M3338 michael_w_grice 2025-06-05T06:27:24Z Re: Moving shelves from FAS2040 to FAS2240--gotchas? https://community.netapp.com/t5/ONTAP-Hardware/Moving-shelves-from-FAS2040-to-FAS2240-gotchas/m-p/47514#M3339 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><DIV><P>You could run "disk zero spares" on the 2040 and wait for zeroing o save time before connecting to the 2240.
