Figure 5. Reordering multiple defined arrays across previously used bays in two storage
enclosures
To reorder drives that make up arrays across different drive bays in the same
storage subsystem configuration, complete the following steps:
1. Start the DS Storage Manager Client program and open the Storage Subsystem
2. Mark the drives in the arrays.
3. Export the arrays that you plan to move.
4. Unlatch the drives. Wait at least 2 minutes for each drive to spin down.
5. Remove the drives from the bays.

Note: Figure 6 shows the array status as missing an array in subsystem
because the array was not exported before the drives that made up the array
were removed from the storage subsystem.
Ensure that all of the drives that made up the arrays are removed from their
bays.
