Upgrading the load source disk unit with device parity protection
This checklist shows the sequence of tasks to upgrade your load source disk unit (unit 1) with a disk unit that has at least a 70-GB capacity while keeping device parity active. The disk units that are replaced in this procedure are discarded.
Upgrading the load source disk unit with local mirroring using non-configured disk units

Upgrading the load source disk unit with local mirroring using newly installed disk units
This checklist shows the sequence of tasks to upgrade your load source disk unit (unit 1) and the mirrored load source with disk units that have equal capacity, are at least 70-GB, and are mirror protected. The disk units that are replaced in this procedure are discarded.
