Hi, We are migrating all data from an old fas2040 to a newer netapp in a different location. The fas2040 has several DS14 shelves, and one ds4243 shelf.
I wonder if I can just turn off disk shelves as the data is migrated? Normally I'd just let the disks spin till I had everything safely moved, and the disk sanitized. But we lost AC in this room, and warm weather approaches. Can I simply unshare, and unmount all volumes on a disk tray, then turn the tray off to reduce heat generation? (later once I know all the data is safe, and snapshots have caught up on the new system, I'd like to turn the shelf back on, delete the aggregates, and sanitize the disks)
Will this work? Or will the 2040 be very unhappy if a shelf is turned off?
Thanks for your help David
