Hi,

There isn't anything "Smart" about an MSA30. It is just a disk shelf...

Assuming that the MSA30 enclosure is attached to a SmartArray controller of some form, then yes the RAID configuration will be kept... There's a copy on the disks.

Cheers,

Rob

one enclosure is dual bus, second is single bus

moving disks from dual bus to single bus enclosure

plz advice

What controller are you using ???

How are the logical drives configured ?

Moving things from a dual bus to a single bus MSA30 might cause issues, as the SCSI IDs will be different.

Cheers,
Rob
