Dear, We have 1 Eseries E2812 with 18 Disk of 4TB and 1 DDP we must replace disk of 4 TB by disk of 12TB. we have 12 Disk disks on 4TB on shelf ID99 and 6 disks of 4 TB on shelf ID01 slot 0 to 5. and free slot 6 to 11. - Adding 6 New Disk in Shelf ID 01 Slot 6 to 11 - Extend DDP with theses 6 Disk - We will have a warning " adding disk of 12 TB with Disk of 4TB" If you must add unassigned drives with a larger capacity, be aware that the usable capacity of the unassigned drives that you add is reduced so that they match the current capacities of the drives in the pool or volume group. (we will lose 8 TB on each new disk) . - Rebalancing of Aggregate DDP. - Decrease DDP by removing 6 disks of 4TB shelf ID99 slot 0 to 5. - Replace Physical disk 4TB by 12 TB shelf ID99 slot 0 to 5 - Increase DDP with 6 new disks of 12TB - We will have a warning " adding disk of 12 TB with Disk of 4TB" we will loses 8 TB on each new disk. - Rebalancing of Aggregate DDP. - Decrease DDP by removing 6 disks of 4TB shelf ID99 slot 6 to 11. - Replace Physical disk 4TB by 12 TB shelf ID99 slot 6 to 11. - Increase DDP with 6 new disks of 12TB - Rebalancing of Aggregate DDP. - Decrease DDP by removing 6 disks of 4TB shelf ID01 slot 0 to 5. - Replace Physical disk 4TB by 12 TB shelf ID01 slot 0 to 5. - Increase DDP with 6 new disks of 12TB - Rebalancing of Aggregate DDP. - at this moment we don’t have disk 4 TB in Pool DDP we will have just 24 disks of 12 TB - I would like saw if is possible to retrieve full capacity of disk 12 TB on Aggregate DPP. Thanks in advance
