Data drives to be replaced on KE, 2/21/2003.
I will be replacing the data drives on KE (three 18 Gb drives in RAID 5) with three 72 Gb drives (RAID 5). I'll start a level 0 dump at 5 (or as soon after that as the nightly backup will allow), saving the dump file to PAX:/home/r0p1. This should take approximately two hours, judging by AMANDA reports. Then power off system, replace drives, configure drives, format drives, and restore dump file. Happy ETA is 10 AM, I'm publicizing noon as definite ETA.
