Using fibre channel disks of various sizes

Guideline for using fibre channel disks of various sizes  Top

You can use fibre channel disks of various sizes with the same appliance, up to and including 18-GB, 36-GB, and 72-GB disks. However, unlike filers, the appliance does not support mixing disks of different sizes on the same disk shelf; they must be in separate shelves.

The following table shows a sample configuration.
