SmartStart re-install (preserving RAID data)

[sparkymarcopolo]

I have a Server which has an OS configured on RAID 1 (Parallel SCSI Array A) and Data on RAID5  (Parallel SCSI Array B) on a 6400 controller that I need to rebuild with a different OS.

If I use SmartStart is there an option to ignore the RAID5 and install OS on the RAID1 so to preserve our Data?

Thanks

Hello,

At least old Smart Starts had this option. There you could choose between format all partitions and format only boot partition.

Partitions or logical drives?

My C:, D: are assigned to Array A

E: is assigned Array B and RAID 5

So both are separate entities and I'm not fussed about wiping C and D

I might just replace the 36GB x 2 with 72GBx2 and install onto these
