| Post subject: | Move 7200c from Prod to Lab |
We currently have a 4 year old 7200c with 73 GiB 8 x 1.92 TB SSDs 24 x 1.2 TB 10k drives 12 x 4 TB 7.2k drives (LFF) with 4 cages we are still on 3.2.2.709+ (upgraded code in December 2018) My plan is is go down to just the base shelf and keep the 8 SSDs and 16 1.2 TB 10k drives. This will give me more than enough LAB capacity (RAID 5 on the SSDs and RAID 10 on the 10ks) and should be plenty fast over 10gig iSCSI. Also hoping to upgrade to 3.3.1. We still have support for 1 more year from 3par. Should I keep more than just the base shelf? Or keep all of the SFF drives (8 + 24) and keep 1 expansion shelf? Will 3par support help in retiring this from production and moving from a physical SP to a virtual ? Is 3.3.1 on a 7200c a good idea. I don't plan on using dedupe or compression. Thanks Z |

HPE support usually is pretty good in these situations. They have helped me dismiss disks from a shelf, assisting with all the commands to move chunklets. And on another system they helped me run-reun OOB process. |
