RAID

lavel, 2011-05-26 20:03:49

Trouble has occurred, the basket from HP StorageWorks is damaged, i.е. and the controller is in order and the screws are working, but the disk array cannot be connected to the server, the connector has silly fallen apart.
Attention, the question is how to get to the data in the array, if there is a PCI-E Smart Array P400 RAID controller on which the array worked, and there are servers with a similar controller? Only a good admin is missing :(
I really don't want to lose data.

Controllers typically store metadata about the array at the beginning of the disk. If you connect the same controller, it will display a message asking you to import the array settings from disks. I can't say for sure about SmartArray, because The last time I changed drives at HP was about a year ago.

Insert disks into another server, everything will work without problems.

StorageWorks is a fairly broad class of products, including MSA and EVA.
