Changing from Integrated to Smart Array Ctrlr

[Ayman Altounji]

I understand that the Proliant DL380 does not store the array configuration on the Integrated controller.

If I have data on the array attached to the Integrated controller and decide to switch the array to a Smart Array Controller, will I lose my data, or is the configuration still stored on the drives and in NVRAM and sufficient to keep this from happening?

Thank you!

The Smart Array Controller will read the information from the drives . You can make the switch from the integrated Smart Controller without losing data .

However we do suggest you have a reliable backup done before swapping the controllers .
