Hi,
I have a 3PAR 7400 running OS 3.1.3. It's been out of support for a while and still has some production data on it. It has 16 cages, 8 per node pair. I'm currently evacuating all drives in cages 8-15 that are using loops 3:0:X and 2:0:X.
I'm confident that I can remove the drives successfully (I kept a T400 running by dismissing failed disks. You know...the ones that didn't officially have a problem
) and I'm fairly confident I can unplug each cage and via servicecage and admithw remove cages 9-15.
I'm not sure on the correct process to remove cage 8 containing nodes 2 and 3. After shutting down the nodes and running admithw will the array become a 7200?
I then need to move nodes 2 and 3 to start a new array which I assume I could do by running an ootb so they become nodes 0 and 1. Split the license and Roberts your mothers brother?
Any help or pointers would be appreciated!
