Considerations for replacing existing storage

There are various factors to consider (remapping, reformatting of disk drives, partitioning) when replacing existing storage.

When you are replacing existing storage, partition the storage so that its virtual disks are similar in configuration to the disk drives that they are replacing. New configurations must be large enough to accommodate the existing data.
Note: You might want to take advantage of this opportunity to do some remapping. The allocation and distribution of data does not have to be a straight one-to-one relationship, although that is possible. For instance, you can take advantage of using a maximum of 64 logical subsystems whereas the prior limitation was 32 logical subsystems.
