I have the following situation. I currently have an ESA10000 with quad HSZ70's.
I have purchased a new ESA10000, sans controllers. The new 10000 has the upper
and lower BA370's bridged. Here's the plan:
1. Pull the upper pair of '70's and install bridge cables in the old 10K.
Result is having the bottom pair of 70's run the whole cabinet.
2. Put the pair I pulled in the new 10K cab.
The question I have is the state of the disks in the old 10K.
1. what scsi id's will the lower controller give to the upper drives?
2. is a reconfig of the disks necessary (meaning backup prior and restore after)
or will the bottom controller pick up the config? I did a save config on each
unit as it was created.
Bottom line is I'm prepared to restore the data off tape for the upper '370.
I'm just concerned I'm going to really have to restore the whole cabinet (which,
of course, I am prepared for.)
Anyone ever done anything like this?
Thanks
Jim
