hello,

i was reading the help file.

I have 2 x 6tb disk  ( 1 parrity , 1 data)

I want to replace them with 2 x 10tb disk (first replace one disk )

 

"

If all you want to do is replace your Parity drive with a larger one, then you don't need the Parity Swap procedure. Just remove the old parity drive and add the new one, and start the array. The process of building parity will immediately begin. (If something goes wrong, you still have the old parity drive that you can put back!)"

But I then see this 

"IMPORTANT!!! This procedure REQUIRES that the data drive being replaced MUST be disabled first."

 

So do I first disable the array . Take out the {arity disk , put in the bigger disk and it will re-build the array ?

Then in a month or so I can then replace the old 6Tb data disk ?

You have to replace parity first since it can't be smaller than any data disk.

 

To replace a disk, whether parity or data

1. Stop array
2. Shutdown
3. Replace disk
4. Reboot
5. Assign new disk
6. Start array to begin rebuild

Ok thank you.  I will buy the new disk tomorrow
