Well I decided to try and stage a bunch of drives using a single SRE for speed. I brought up VMWare and loaded up the datastore with my images. Removed the drive and put in a fresh drive with a blank datastore (already formatted as a datastore). Well VMWare removed the old datastore as expected but would not bring up the new datastore. I tried to discover new drives, hardware and datastores to no avail. I reloaded the SRE and then datastore appeared and was ready for files. Since eventually Raid1 will be supported I would have thought that hot swapping the drives would be an option. Is hot swapping of drives supported?

Hi Brett,

What's the timing (and other content) in the SRE-V 1.1 release? Will any recertification be required?

Thanks,

Tom

Hi Scott,

Hot swapping with the RAID1 configuration will be supported in the SRE-V 1.1 release. For now you do need to reload the service module.

Thanks,

Brett
