Schmoog I asked the same question earlier the answer I got was - To convert a 7200/7400 you would need to replace the controllers with the new converged models, this can be done without down time
It would be great if this upgrade could be done online. But when I read the conversion guide I can find this information:
"The StoreServ itself will remain physically active during the procedure but it cannot serve host i/o or perform other data-related functions during the upgrade. This activity requires maintenance downtime. Schedule approximately 30 minutes per node."
In the checklist it gets even clearer:
"Verify that all host IO is stopped by Customer using statport -host command"
"Verify that the Customer has shutdown the hosts /unmounted the volumes connected to the
StoreServ"
