Hi all,
I got a quick question. I have a supermicro 836 case that I've used as a DAS connected to another supermicro box running LSI- 9285E controller. The drives in the DAS are configured as RAID 6 and the headend computer running windows 2012.
I've just purchased a new server that I want to use as the headend for the DAS but I am not sure how to migrate the data.
I assume, I would just shut down the old system, move the controller from the old headend, install on the new server, connected it to the DAS and power it up, and all will be good to go.
I've done something similar on system with adaptec controller and I think the controller retain the array information when moved to different computer, but not sure about LSI.
Has anyone have any suggestion what is the best way to do this ?
Thank you much.
