[cisco-voip] Unity 4.0(4)->4.0(5)

Fri Jun 24 11:45:07 EDT 2005

I'm about to do the same.  One thing I'm curious about is their pickyness 
about "Replacing Disks in a RAID" -- p. 50 in the Release Notes for 4.0(5). 
The Release Notes say "...Unity supports only replacing a defective disk in 
a RAID with a blank disk to repair the RAID.  Replacing disks in a RAID for 
any other reason is not supported."

I've always treated Unity like a CallManager, and pulled a RAID drive prior 
to upgrade, upgraded with the RAID inactive, then replaced the drive after 
the upgrade with the previous upgrade's pulled drive.  It's always worked 
OK.  I wonder why Unity would care, or even know about, what's going on at 
the RAID array level -- all it sees is the logical drive, I would think --  
and why they insist on a blank drive.  The Array Manager sure doesn't care 
what's on the drive when it rebuilds the array.  Am I missing something?
