Sparc Servers : Replacing a Smaller Older Disk with a Newer Larger Capacity Disk (Doc ID 2332709.1)

Last updated on NOVEMBER 08, 2023

Applies to:

Sun Fire 4800 Server - Version All Versions to All Versions [Release All Releases]
Sun Fire 6800 Server
Sun SPARC Enterprise M9000-64 Server
Sun Fire 12K Server
Sun Fire 15K Server
SPARC

Purpose

Many older, smaller, and  low capacity drives have become discontinued by their manufacturer.  When parts supply or mean time between failure becomes unacceptable to Oracle, we may send a newer supported drive as a replacement.  It requires some pre-setup to replace the failed disk but will increase the stability of SUN Sparc Servers for our customers.

Scope

This Document will describe how to successfully mirror a new replacement disk which has a larger capacity then original failed mirror disk.
