DL380, SmartArray 5302 upgrade
is it possible to upgrade from on-board Smart Array 5i Controller to 5302 without rebuilding the RAID/reinstalling OS? Does anyone have expirience with it?
DL380 G2,W2k Server SP2, RAID-5.
Thanks.

Re: DL380, SmartArray 5302 upgrade
Yes you can make this change to the server quite easily without rebuilding.
All you have to do is set the 5302 as the boot controller in the F9 RBSU utility and connect the point-to-point scsi cable to the new controller from the drive cage.
The driver for both controllers is the same, and all the array configuration information is held on the drives themselves.
Hope this helps,
Janine

You can always leave the 5i in there, but the problem we had was if there are no arrays on it, you will have to press F1 at every boot, and we can't have that.
And one more thing, make sure the firmware on the 5302 is up to date.

Chapter 4 - system switches - scsi interlock.
To Janine - is there a way to leave the 5i in without it complaining about not being configured?
