Moving External Storage Array
Hello,
I need to move an external storage array to a new machine, this array is used for data only not the OS.
Currently its attached to a HP DL360, and it needs to be moved to a new HP DL360,
Can i move this device easily without losing all the data ?

Re: Moving External Storage Array
A real array means it has a built in controller!
I assume you are talking Windows!
You have to make sure that the array is properly attached and recognized by the new server. (HBA, driver, mutipathing etc)
Then you will see a new disk for each LUN.
Give it a drive letter and here you are!
If you are talking about JBODs connected to a smart array controller it is still possible but you need to provide more details!
Cheers
Peter

Re: Moving External Storage Array

i think this should be straightforward, but not having done this before it is a little worrying

Re: Moving External Storage Array
did this over the weekend, it was fairly straightforward, the most difficult thing was working out the scsi device name so that i could mount the disks.
