March 15, 20206 yr due to the fact my norco 4224 case is failing I purchased a netapp diskshelf. Moved all the drives over and now am at the stage of assigning things into the correct spot. the thing is I can get close to the correct S/N but not exactly. BTW I could have purchased 2 netapp shelves and corresponding HBA and cables for the price of a replacement 24 drive case. At the time of purchase example original S/N WDC_WD60EZRZ-00GZ5B1_WD-WX11D58HUHN4 new S/N WD60EZRZ-00GZ5B1_WD-WX11D58HUHN4 The only diffrence is the WDC_. If I clear the configuration and assign everything back in the same order will I be ok?
March 15, 20206 yr Community Expert Checking a couple of my drives, only the WD-WX11D58HUHN4 is the serial number. The rest of the stuff is the manufacturer and model number in the original and just the model number in the new. Most of the time, I just track the last four digits (UHN4) as they should be unique. I am assuming that you have a printout of the old drive assignments. Just use those last four digits to assign drives to the same slots and you will be good to go.
