    HP admin,

    On my L2000 server (HP-UX 11.0), the 2 internal system disks are both
    mirrored with LVM.
    The slave disk recently failed and I need to change it.
    Here is it reference: SEAGATE - ST318404LC1- 7366MB

    This machine is quite old now and we haven't got any more support for it.
    This disk reference doesn't exist and so our retailer proposes another
    one: SEAGATE ST336607LC 36.4GB

    This one is bigger and so I'm wandering if:
     - LVM will be able to reconstruct the mirror easily
     - I could replace it without halting the machine (the internal system
    disks are "hotplug")

    Can anybody help my on this issue ?

    Thanks a lot in advance.

    Regards,

    Sabrina
