<h1>Replacing physical drives in an pool</h1>

If you have an pool built with one or more physical drives that are not the same
size, or you simply want to upgrade the pool with new, larger drives,
you can replace the physical drives in the pool.

<p><b><img src="images/attentio.gif" width="22" height="15">Attention: </b>During
  the rebuild operation, if another physical drive fails, there is the risk of
  losing data. </p>
<ol>
  <li>Replace the physical drive in the server or enclosure with a larger physical
    drive. <br>
    <br>
  </li>
  <li>Wait for the rebuild to complete.<br>
    <br>
  </li>
  <li>Repeat steps 1 and 2 until you have replaced all the smaller physical
    drives in the pool.</li>
</ol>
