Hi,
The help file for the FastT storage manager software states that a hot spare
can be any disk that is the same capacity or larger than the disk it is
replacing. This indicates that you could replace a 36G with a 72G and have
no issues rebuilding whatever set you had on these disks. Additionally,
there are currently no issues placing 18, 36, 72 or 144 disks in the shelves
in any combination that we have encountered.

i know you can have a drawer full of 36s and a drawer full of 72s in the
same configuration...not sure if you can mix within a drawer.

Subject: sort of near OT - FastT drive usage
Its only sort of off topic, since we only use this with AIX, and I don't
know the hardware very well:
The FastT700. We're configuring one for use with 36 Gb drives (we need lots
of spindles, not lots of space). If we go this way and 36Gb drives become
hard to find in the future lifetime of this thing, can you plug in larger
drives that would be used as 36Gb drives like the RAIDiant arrays do? We
don't want to be trapped into putting down tons of bucks for what should
have been a single drive.
Many thanks for tolerating the veering away and sorry for the long
disclaimer.
