Array consolidation

Hi,

i want to consolidate my array of 10 disks (9 data + parity) to 9 (8+1) and introduce a cash disk from one that would be extra. I think the steps are:

1. move data from data disk that would become cash

2. Flash backup

3. Parity sync

4. Stop array

5 .New config; making sure the parity drive is not mixed up, the order for data disks is not important

6. Assign disk from step 1 as new cash disk.

7. start array

8. another parity sync

 

The array should be 8 data disks + 1 parity + 1 cash.

 

Am I missing anything?

Thank you
