This
method
requires
that
you

affected
drives
and
then
turn
off
the
storage
server.
After
replacing
all
the
drives,
you
must
reconfigure
the
new
drives
and
restore
data
from
backup.
See
the
procedure
in
This
is
the
safest
way
to
exchange
drives
without
losing
data.
However,
this
method
might
take
a
long
time
to
complete
because
of
the
backup,
reconfiguration,
and
restoration
processes.
