Breaking RAID on a ML370
We need to break the array in order to fit x3 145gb however this of course will destroy 'all' data in the array.
If we ghost the server, then break the array I am concerned that HP
SMART Array controllers not only write disk config to the firmware
eprom, but also to the disk itself and we may well have boot errors
after we restore the GHOST image because of conflicting config info.
We're looking to undertake the disk upgrade on August the 7th, hence
would appreciate your soonest feedback.

Re: Breaking RAID on a ML370
Is 'Acronis True Image' a commercial product? Am I able to download a trial from somewhere?
Why is this product better than Ghost? Are there any distinct advantages? Or are your recommending this product through your own experiences? Also could we use Drive Image PRO?

Re: Breaking RAID on a ML370
I agree with Uwe Zessin,
Ghost or any other product does not access the config info portion of an Array, also eprom does not store info about the array configuration.
I use a lot of Ghosting with my arrays, so far no worries. You can dump images to logical drives.
As your requirement is mission critical, do a pilot on another machine, take two backups and proceed.
If need further help,please write to us. We are glad to help if time permits ( I am engaged in many projects).
Take care,
Regards,
Varuna.
