N O T E
If you view disks with a disk-management tool during the
upgrade procedure, disk slot assignments sometimes
appear to change. This occurs because the
disk-management tools assign volume names based on
the order in which disks are inserted. Therefore, if you
remove a disk and then reinstall it later in the upgrade
procedure, it may not have the same slot assignment as it
had earlier. If you want to ensure that a disk's logical name
corresponds to a physical slot number, reboot the system
when all disks are installed.
