I do not recall seeing anything in the instructions about making the FC9 be id 0.
Yeah, I read that wrong.
I am also considering upgrading the FC8's to FC9's, not so much to be homogeneous but to be able to upgrade all the disks to 36GB.
Also, I heard a nasty rumor that the F740 actually maxes out at 7 trays worth of (18Gig) disks. Is this true or can we order our 8th tray
without
worries?
Are you saying "maxes out" in that it will not allow you to hook up the last shelf or that it runs out of horsepower?
You hit a maximum in one of the specifications. As per Dennis Haag from NetApp:
The F740 maxxes out at 16 shelves (8 per loop), 112 disks (56 per loop), or 928GB, whichever you hit first. So with 18GB disks 928/18 ~= 51.5 disks. Parity disks and hot spares would not be counted against the 928GB limit.
(This is in the technical specifications for the F740 running Data ONTAP v5.x)
