[cisco-voip] Remove Mirrored Disk Before Upgrading.......disk drives

[Ryan Ratliff]

Does Cisco even sell hard disks for MCS servers?  I sure can't RMA one.

Find the HP equivalent of your server on www.cisco.com/go/swonly and  
it will list all of the components with their HP part numbers.  If  
it's a recent model server then it should be easy to find.  If it's  
an older one you may have to do some detective work.

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?
