Upgrading dual pairty drives


Recommended Posts

You can do both at the same time but you would then not be protected against an array drive failing until the new parity has been built on both drives.

 

if you do them separately then you remain protected against any other drive (including the other parity drive) failing while building new parity onto the drive.    This takes longer but you have protection throughout.

 

both the above statements assume that you do not already have a problem on a data drive before starting the upgrade process.
