Hi everyone,
Apologies if this is in the wrong group, but I think HDDs does not fit either...
I have recently moved from my HP40NL microserver (running FreeBSD 13.1) to a rack mounted server (also running FreeBSD 13.1).
Today, when I unpluged my old HPE server from the UPS in order to hookup the new server to the UPS, I seem to have "fried" the HPE, as I can no longer turn it on. When I hit the power button, no LEDs shine or flash, the HDDs don't start and the fan does not turn.
I suspect, that I short-circuited the HPE's PSU.
While this is not a tragedy, since I wanted to retire it anyway, I would like to access the data stored on the 4 HDDs. The HDDs are attached to an IBM1015 controller and the server uses ZFS. The HDDs are in a RaidZ-2 array (4 6TB Hitachi drives).
Is there a way I could hookup these drives to the "new" server and import the RaidZ-2 array into the "new" server in order to copy the remaining files? First I thought about buying an external HDD case but I am not sure whether this will work, since these cases have normal SATA ports and I would probably breakup the array, right?
The other option I thought about, is to hook up 4 HDDs to the IBM1015 controller in the new server, but for this I would need some sort of "external SATA power". My new server's PSU unfortunately will not support further drives.
Do you have any tips or suggestions, how I could access the old data, without having to invest into new hardware heavily, for "a few old files"?
Many thanks for your help!
Georg
