Smart Array p410i RAID I Disk Upgrade
Hi,
We currently have 2 500Gb spinning disks in a RAID I configuration. Since we are hitting our storage capacity limit, we want to safely replace both disks with 2 SSD's of 1Tb each without losing any data.
We have a Proliant G6, using a Smart Array p410i. What's the safest upgrade scenario that we can follow?
Kind Regards,
Ewout.

Re: Smart Array p410i RAID I Disk Upgrade
The P410i supports a list of SSD (see quickspec) but I did not see 1TB drive.
However, since you cannot mix different drives (SAS/SATA, spinning/not spinning) in a RAID, you need to backup your data and restore to the new disks or maybe clone the system to a new RAID (your new disks) using any appropriate software.
Hope this helps!
Regards
Torsten.

Re: Smart Array p410i RAID I Disk Upgrade
Hello,
Thanks for the fast reply. Would it be possible to follow this scenario:
- use the hpssacli tool to disconnect one of our current RAID 1 disks, but keep the other one running under the same logical disk
- setup a new RAID I with the two SSD's
- using the dd command to copy the disconnected disk to the new RAID 1 logical disk
- set the boot controller to the new RAID 1
(The server currently boots from the current RAID 1 setup).
Kind Regards,
Ewout.
