Hi
For a few years, we have been running PVE on OVH dedicated servers in Europe and changed servers as we outgrew the ones we had.
At this point we have their HG-servers, where components can be changed from month to month.
In preparation for a drive replacement on our servers (larger capacity drives), we wanted to know if anyone has experience with drive replacement on a server which was deployed using the OVH proxmox5-zfs template (manually upgraded to PVE 6 afterwards).
From what I can see the servers boot using UEFI with the grub bootloader.

For a normal drive replacement, can we simply follow the procedure described on drive replacement here: https://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/ZFS_on_Linux#_zfs_administration
Or do we need to do something special

What about when we want to switch to a larger capacity drive. If it was not the boot device, I would normally replace the first drive, let ZFS resilver, replace the second drive, let ZFS resilver and then have it increase the pool capacity
