The conversion is finally done. The hardware has been sitting behind my desk for months and this weekend it finally happened. It went off without a hitch and it took about 7 hours as expected. The Dell guy knew exactly what he was doing and as he should have. Prior to the conversion I prepped the rack by moving the DAE's up 1U to make space at the bottom for the new storage processor 1U unit. If I hadn't done that it would have taken an extra hours to move all that stuff up.
We've also added our 5th DAE with 1TB SATAII drives for a total of 15TB. After the hot spare and the LUN overhead I've got ~12.5TB to play with.
