RE: moving disks between 720s - toasters

      I believe that there is a command "vol add -n" that will zero out the disks without actually adding this to a volume- just saw this in training (thanks Jim!).

Go though the filer boot menu and initialize the disks so that they are blank.

    Subject: moving disks between 720s
    
    We are planning on retiring one of our F720s and keeping it to use
    the parts as spares.  Is there anything we need to do before the
    shutdown so that the individual disks can be pulled and used as
    replacements in other 720s?  I'm not trying to move any data,
    just grab individual disks that are part of a an existing volume
    on the retired 720 and use them as hot spares on another 720.
    
    Thanks,
    Frank
