[Miller, Steve]

So if I've got a Cisco-branded HP DL380G4 box, I can't do anything for a
spare disk other than buy one from Cisco???

your IBM/HP rep can help you with that if you have an HP/IBM box.
otherwise if you have a Cisco badged box you can buy a Cisco spare drive
(at four times the cost, but it's blue)

How do you find out specs about the hard drives in order to make sure
the RPM (etc) matches the one that you put in there after removing the
mirrored drive?

No one will give you official support, but it's something that many
people do. Many people suggest against it because of mismatched BIOS
upgrades, but that's easily fixed with manufacturer utilities. (I
think).

My only suggestion is that if you have a spare drive, slap it in after
you pull the second. Completing an installation with the drive arrays
complete is a better option.

One of my managers would like to remove the second disk before the
upgrade so that if we have any major issues (total system crash, etc),
we can just replace the main disk with the mirrored disk that we removed
and go back to status quo.  Is this a good idea?
