Hello,
I want to remove 8 SSDs from a 7200 and add 4 each to two 7400. The 7200 is no longer in production and can
be reinitialized afterwards. However I want to make sure that I have the procedure right:

Evacuate the old data on the 7200:
removespare
dismisspd

Put 4 disks, 2 each in a cage on 7400 next to each other.
servicemag

Please let me know if the above procedure is correct or if there is anything to add.

Cheers,
Thomas

Hello,
we evacuated the disk on the old system:

removespare 16:a
dismisspd 16

We added two disks a cage to the new system and called admithw.

Cheers,
Thomas

Don't worry about the datas on your SSDs.

admithw "format" the disks and let you add disks from others arrays with only one confirmation.
