I'm new to the MSA1000 so please overlook my lack of knowledge with this unit.
I have a MSA1000 SB (nothing fancy, no HA kit yet). I've installed six (6) new 300GB drives and can configure them without an issue and present them to a server(s).
From my understanding, the MSA1000 SB is supposed to allow drives, which are configured as a RAID Array on a supported HP RAID controller, to simply be inserted into the MSA1000 and the unit will pickup the array info from those moved drives and all data will be intact.
I have three (3) 300GB drives in a RAID-5 on a DL380 G4 using the onboard RAID controller which I'm trying to move to the MSA1000. However, the MSA1000 does not detect the array configuration of those three drives. It "sees" the drives, but only as available free space drive.
I have attempted to search HP's website for documentation on this process, only to come up empty handed.
Any help would be appreciated!!!
Thanks,
Mike

Re: MSA1000 SB - Move RAID HDs from DL380 not seen as array
Should I try it with the SAN powered down?

Re: MSA1000 SB - Move RAID HDs from DL380 not seen as array
That is good to hear. The SmartArray controllers sometimes seem a bit too 'smart' for me and do thing I don't expect from them ;-)
Oh, one thing: It's been some time that I check it, but I remember a warning that a disk drive array could not be moved back to a server once it was recognized by an MSA.
