QUESTION 130
An Implementation Engineer is onsite to replace a 22TB data pack with a new 91TB (10 x 9.1TB) data pack in a FlashArray//X90R5 Gen 2. The array is at 90% capacity. It currently has 22TB (10 x 2.2TB) in slots 0-9 and 63TB (14 x 4.5TB) in slots 10-23, configured as two separate write groups.
What is a supported method to proceed with the planned capacity migration?

Add the new datapack into slots CH0.BAY24 – CH0.BAY28 and start the EVAC of the drives in slots 0-
9. Install the remaining drives after the EVAC completes.

Install a swing shelf, add the new data pack to the swing shelf, and evacuate the old 22TB (10 x 2.2TB) pack.

Evacuate the drives from slots 0-9 into remaining capacity, then install the new data pack into those slots.

Remove the 22TB data pack instantly and rebuild the missing data onto the new 91TB drives from parity.
