Re: Split Mirrored Array on DL380 G4 w/6i controller
Make sure you have the latest firmware on your SmartArray 6i controller and use SmartStart 7.30 CD that you can download from www.hp.com/go/ssdownloads
(SS7.40 has an issue with ACU that is documented in the support document number c00586175 . Go to www.hp.com and do a search for the document number)
The 'split mirror' feature is documented in the ACU user's guide and is an off-line process (boot from SS required).
Hope it helps.

Re: Split Mirrored Array on DL380 G4 w/6i controller
Thanks for the input. I had read the ACU help file about the split mirror feature but it did say it wasn't supported on all RAID controllers. I did contact HP after I started the thread and they did confirm that the 6i controller doesn't support the mirror splitting feature.
So I'm stuck with trying do this some other way. What I have done now is that I installed a new array with a single RAID 0 drive to it. Then I used Ghost 2003 to copy the image from the Raid 1+0 logical drive to the new Raid 0 drive.
I decided I want to remove the RAID 1+0 drives and run this system on a single RAID 0 drive. My question now is how do I get the system to boot from the newly imaged drive?

Solutionhttp://h18023.www1.hp.com/support/files/server/us/revision/8924.html
2. Added split-mirroring support and a mirroring re-synchronization feature. This allows a RAID 1 volume to be split into two RAID 0 volumes and then combine the two RAID 0 volumes into a single RAID 1 volume.
