Two HPE PL ML 150 Gen9 Server - swap disk from one array to the other

Praxis-Lor — Mon, 16 May 2022 09:14:13 GMT

Hi everyone,

I have two very similar PL ML 150 Gen9 Servers (except RAM one has 40 the other one 32). Both oh them have a P440 Smart Array with 8 Bay SFF. One of the servers has a problem with Bios and iLO Firmware ( see my other Thread).

Now my idea is to take all drives from the one array and swap them to the other.

Is there any reason why I shouldn't do it that way?

Thanks for your help

Hi,

no Problem at all.
I ´have done this.
It's the same, as your Controller/Mainboard is replaced by Warranty.

Possible Issues:

- If the new Controller has older Firmware, then the existing (Firmware Update)

- Windows discovers new Hardware

- Got new MAC & WWN Adresses
