I have a DL360 G4 and i want upgrade HDD and upgrade from Win 2000 server to Win 2003 server
I but i want be sure if i have a problem i can reboot olds disk with Win 2000
HDD are in RAID 1, so i am afraid to loose the hdd SCSI ID when i recompose the new logical unite.

Re: HDD Scsi
1.Are you planning a fresh install of Win 2003 or literally upgrade from Win 2000 to Win 2003?
2.Incase its a fresh install(sounds like),what do you plan to do with the old disks?
3.Since this server has provision to install 2 disks,incase there is a problem,you can connect the old disks if you keep it in shelf provided you label the disks(disk 0 and disk1).

Re: HDD Scsi
i make a new install of windows 2003 on 2 new disks (never used) in Raid 1
and i conserve the 2 old disks with Win 2000 for backup security
what do you think about this ?
Thanks

Re: HDD Scsi
Make sure you label the old disks and incase of a failure(new disks) connect the old disks in the same order.

Re: HDD Scsi
you say "...and incase of a failure(new disks) connect the old disks in the same order."
ok, but i believed when i make a new logical drive under scsi controler i loose the old ID SCSI disk drive ?
the DISK ID is writed on the disk or on the controler card ?
if i change the disk in the good position the controller card get the good logic unity ?
thanks

Re: HDD Scsi
The array information is stored on the disks.
I guess you are using the smart array 6i controller.
Scenario 1:
>Use 2 new disks,configure array,install OS.
>The old disks with Win 2000 is in the shelf.
Scenario 2:
>New disk/array failure.
>Clear NVRAM in RBSU(optional i suppose).
>Power down the server and take out both the new disks.
>Connect the old disks in the same order and power on the server.
>After the smart array controller is detected during POST,it should show an existing logical volume(raid 1) and it should load the OS(Win 2k).
Hope this clarifies.
