We are going to be adding an additional FC shelf to our clustered F740's. Obviously, the safe way to do this is to halt both 740's, attach the A & B loops, then bring both filers back up.
But, what I was wonder was, would it be possible to:
- Attach the B-loop first. - Have the B-Loop Filer take over all th shelves (including the new shelf). - Attach the A-Loop. - Give back the shelves to the A-Loop filer.
I don't think we'll do this as we're only talking about about maybe 2 minutes of downtime vs 30 seconds, but I was wondering if this is a feasible thing to do.
Thoughts?
