Greetings all,

I'm about to install some new disc drives and replace some old
ones on our HP957 system, and wonder if anyone has any tips
on avoiding disaster.

I've already run SYSGEN and added paths and devices for the
new spindles and modified the device id of the ones to be
replaced.

We are using disc mirroring and the requirement is to:

Add a pair of spindles to one volume (merely expand the
  private volume by one spindle), so I guess I just do
  something like

     newmirrvol med1:member4 (44,54)

On another mirrored private volume, I need to replace MEMBER1
and MEMBER2 and add a MEMBER4.  Naturally, I'm prepared to
reload this volume (run BULDACCT to recreate the accounting
structure, restore the data, then reset the UDCs).

I'd very much like urgent advice on what's going to happen when
the system comes up with replaced members on the second volume.
Naturally, I'll have to repeat the above command to add the
MEMBER4, but what do I do about the replaced members?

Any clues?
