Moving disks from G4 to G4

[A. Gehrig]

Hi

Im facing a problem with G4 DL380 moving disk arrays from one host to another.

Setup:
2 identical G4 DL380 with 2x36gb (RAID1) and 2x72gb (RAID1) disks

Problem:
If i create a logical drive (Slot 0+1, both 36gb) as RAID1, install an OS and wana physically move the 2 disks to the second G4, the new host doesnt recognize the array.
The same procedure worked well with G3s.

What i tried:
- upgraded firmware -> same problem
- booted with one disk only -> same problem
- created a new raid1 over the existing one -> didnt work as wanted
- replaced disks -> same problem

Im kinda lost.

regards & thanks
Andreas

Problem solved. I had to remove the other disks (2x72gb) to get it working.
There should be no disks in the array except the new ones.... arf ;)

RIS table keep Time stamp of Last used Drives in the Server and assign them as ID0 ID1 - drives added after as additional array taking spot of secondary array B and won't be bootable, unless divided between Controllers and Duplex SCSI backplane and Boot Controller order should be changed.
