HP DL380G5 "Disk HOT PLUG"

[Cesar Bernstein]

Exist any HP document that explain the HOT PLUG functions? I need to remove (online) one of two RAID 0+1 disk of a DL380G5 server, to replicate the OS and configuration on another HP DL380G5 server. Is possible diconnect the disk with the server online?

It's possible to disconnect, but how are you going to replicate the information to another server?

hi,

if you like to clone the servers, make it offline, or use some sw for duplicating of the system ( Symantec / Acronis .... )

if you put the disks online the system wil be probably not usable in the second servers.

From Smart Array generation 6 and onward, there's feature in the ACU to split an array in two.

But it is Offline!!

In other words, this is not possible to do on-line.
