One other thing to note is that if you follow the procedure below, the 4GB SCSI drive will become useless since DataONTAP marks the drive as bad. The system will not allow the drive to be reinserted into the filer.

You could raid fail the SCSI drive, go into degraded mode, and rebuild onto a new spare FCAL. It would be risky, though, since there is a small chance of another disk failure during the rebuild process. (Might be a good idea to do a raid scrub first.) You will also take a performance hit during this process, of course.

if you reboot the filer (or have a spare) into maintenance mode, you can relabel the disk.

I think that can be finessed by judicious attacks on the label area.
What I would be concerned about would be that the relevant data plane will now be stuck at 8600 MB for ever: however much you fail it over to nice big discs, it will use only this much of them. I don't know of any way out of this without rebuilding the whole volume (vol copy, or dump & restore, etc.).
