Neil: Depending on where the 6512 is installed, it may not support 16 drives. "On the 9406 Model 720 with the #9364/#5064 System Unit Expansion and the #9331 Expansion Unit for SPD Cards, the #6512 supports up to 15 disk units within the System Unit Expansion." Dare has said that he doesn't know about a 5052. I am very certain that Dare won't be able to migrate his data as he described in his note earlier today. Let's assume that the 6512 is not in a system expansion unit and therefore it will support 16 drives. The IOP has 10 drives on it now therefore, there are connectors available for 6 more drives. He cannot respread the data from drives 9 and/or 10 then remove drive 9 or drive 10, there isn't room on drives 1 through 8 to hold the respread data - unless he turns off mirroring for unit 1 and 1A and RAID for drives 1 through 10. Therefore, he cannot attach all 7 of his 8 gb drives in one go. He can attach 6 of them (as drives 11 through 16), then disable drives 9 and 10 (and wait for the data to migrate off to drives 11 through 16), then remove 9 and 10 from the 6512 and attach them to the MFIOP and add drive 7 of his 8gb drives to the 6512. That is a 2-step process. I hope that is what he is expecting.
