The consensus is that while this is possible I'll only end up with
4.3Gb per disk to play with which would obviate the exercise rather.
Shame, but it did seem to good to be true, so it's back to watching
tapes wind. Never mind, I've got the machine for a whole day. The same
applies to hszs which is useful to know as I've got a similar chore with
one of those coming up soon.
Thanks again to all who responded.
regards
Allan

Subject: RAID Array 230/Plus
Not strictly Tru64, but the box in question is running it.
We have a raid 0+1 set in one of the above which consists of 4.3Gb
disks.
I'd like to replace these with 9.2Gb disks and was wondering whether it
would be possible to hot swap one of the stripe sets replacing with the
bigger disks, allow a rebuild and then do the same with the other stripe
set. This would be nice and simple but I suspsect there may be problems
with different sized disks being mirrored? Any comments or anyone tried
something similar?
thanks
