*** Matt Phelps mphelps@cfa.harvard.edu *** [2007-04-13 14:05:19]: We'll be replacing a 960 with a new 3070 soon and am wondering if anyone's gone through this upgrade path yet.
Our current plan is to install 7.2.2 for the 3070 (which is an x86_64 based OS) with the 960 still up, run "download" to put the boot stuff on the disks, then edit the /etc/rc file to change the device names for the network interface, then shutdown and swap the heads. Hopefully the 3070 will just come up and hum right along.
Any gotchyas?
hardware based disk ownership on the FAS900 series vs software based disk ownership on the FAS3000 and FAS6000 series.
This documet can come in handy, It is for FAS60x0 series but applies to FAS3070 as well.
