I have 8x4TB in RAIDZ2 connected to a 9211-8i. I would like to begin the process of swapping all drives with 8TB drives that are currently burning in on another system. Would it be okay to connect 1x8TB drive to a SATA port for the replace procedure? Drives connected to the HBA show up as /dev/da0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7. A drive connected to SATA shows up as /dev/ada0. Should I have any concerns about doing a replace, shutting down the server and swapping the replaced drive from SATA to the HBA?
I don't believe this should be a problem. But just want to be told "Yea, dummy, FreeNAS doesn't care about the controller as long as the drives are passed through directly".
Thanks!
