[(FIXED) 1 of 2 parity drives failed, replace with a larger one?]

That procedure worked, I'm rebuilding Parity1 now with a 4TB and when that is done and stable I'll swap in another 4TB drive for Parity2. Thanks!

I feel like this is answered somewhere but my google-fu is lacking and I can't find the answer. 

 

I have 2 , 2TB parity drives in my unraid. Parity1 has started tossing SMART errors so I'm going to replace it. 

I have a 4TB drive I can replace it with. 

The process I was going to try is

1. stop the array
2. remove parity1 from the assignments. 
3. power off
4. replace parity1 with a 4TB drive
5. power on
6. assign the 4TB drive as parity (at this stage I will have a 2TB and a 4TB parity drive, will that work?)
7. let the parity rebuild
8. eventually replace the other 2TB drive with a 4TB drive. 

 

Does that seem sane? Do I need to do anything special for replacing a failed parity drive vs a data drive? 

Thanks and sincerely sorry if this is answered somewhere already.
