Rep Power: 0 ![]() | Hard Drive Replacement WE are thinking about upgrading from 3.7 to 4.0. We have heard some systems crash during the upgrade process. Our BCM is equipped with a mirror drive, my question is can we take out the Mirror Master and replace it with a blank hard drive and make a mirror of the current system? If yes, will it do it automatically after it boots up? What kind of hard drive you you have to have, does it have to be identical to the ones currently in there? It currently has a Maxtor 2F020L0 in it. Thanks! | ||||||||

Location: Meechigan Rep Power: 5 ![]() | I won't comment on whether or not this is technically possibly, I am fairly sure this is not supported by Nortel. When upgrading a mirror drive system, make sure you or your vendor has Nortel support. I know from personal experience that this procedure has specific step by step procedures. Get a good backup before you start, and make sure your vendor has the reimaging disks for 3.7 and 4.0. Make sure to run the 3.7 to 4.0 pre upgrade tool (health check for 4.0 upgrade). Most of my 4.0 upgrades have been a cakewalk, a few have been a world of fast food and late nights in a server room. If you decide to fly without support or a vendor, you are asking for it.
