changing UEFI to Legacy BIOS and vice versa after server O.S installed.
Hi ,
I'm have some DL360G9 servers and installed with W2k12 , W2008k & LInux Redhat O.S. The server was configured to boot on UEFI during the installation of these O.S. Is there any boot issue if I change it to legacy boot at later stage?
I'm running on RAID 5 and RAID 1+1.
Thanks.

BIOS and UEFI do not boot using the same method. You cannot switch from one to the other after installation.
*I've heard there is now a utility included with a recent Win10 release to switch from MBR to GPT but I've never tried it
