The I/O module "upgrade" path you are attempting is supported:   The SP I/O module upgrade procedure document is in Solve, and its titled "Upgrading to a faster I/O module in a Storage Processor".
We have a customer with a VNX8000 that came configured with 2x 10Gb Copper I/0 Modules, they wish to replace these with 10Gb Optical. Is there a specific procedure for accomplishing this or can we treat it like a FRU replacement? I realise that Solve Desktop for VNX has a procedure for doing this in a DME but we can find no equivalent procedure for a SPE. Thanks in advance. Steven.
