Hi all,

My server has two zpools, one named HDD (6HDD raidz2), and one named SSD (2 X25E mirror). Now I need to replace use 2 480G 520 to replace the old X25E. How can I do that? I think I should delete the zpool SSD first, then shutdown, and add the new SSD. Am I right? Do I need to clean the information for the 2 X25E?
 
If you delete the zpool, you'll lose the data. If you want to replace the drives without losing data, this is what you do:
  1. Read all of this and cross-reference with zpool(8) and possibly other sources before you start.
  2. Enable autoexpand of the pool: # zpool set autoexpand=on poolname
  3. Scrub the pool.
    • # zpool scrub poolname
    • wait for scrub to finish
  4. Backup the data, to be on the safe side.
  5. # zpool detach poolname disk1
  6. Replace the drive
  7. Partition new drive
  8. # zpool attach poolname drive2 newDrive1
  9. Wait for resilver to complete.
  10. Repeat step 5 to 9 with the new drive
