One disk holds the operatingsystem and the other 3 are just datadisks, no raid at all...<BR /><BR />Now, the server is "upgraded" with a SMART Array 641 controller. It´s owner wants to transport the 4 disks as they are to the new controller without losing data. He is not in need of a raid, so he just want the disks to be the JBOD´s they are now (?) (Why buy a SMART controller You ask... Beats me, the customer is allways right.)<BR /><BR />The controller is found by hardware but it just shows 3 disks. The one with the OS, WinXP64, is not detected.<BR />In ORCA he just get the options to create RAIDs, but he wants to have the disks as they are. <BR /><BR />As I see it, the controller is up and running - faultfree. <BR /><BR />Sorry for the lack of information, but can anyone give me a hint where to begin?<BR /><BR />Brgrds,<BR />Fredrik Fri, 26 Aug 2005 03:05:56 GMT https://community.hpe.com/t5/disk-enclosures/move-disks-to-smart-array-641/m-p/3612543#M17370 Fredrik Axelsson 2005-08-26T03:05:56Z https://community.hpe.com/t5/disk-enclosures/move-disks-to-smart-array-641/m-p/3612544#M17371 SOunds like the OS drive is older than the others. What are the disks, how are they attached to the system (all cabled or in a hot swap cage) Sat, 27 Aug 2005 10:46:55 GMT https://community.hpe.com/t5/disk-enclosures/move-disks-to-smart-array-641/m-p/3612544#M17371 e4services 2005-08-27T10:46:55Z https://community.hpe.com/t5/disk-enclosures/move-disks-to-smart-array-641/m-p/3612545#M17372 Well, it could be the case.
