Ghosting

Is it possible to Ghost and restore to the Integrated Smart Array Controller on a DL380. The Array is setup as a RAID 5 with a hot spare.

Re: Ghosting

It is not recommended to Ghost on Compaq Smart Array Controller. This can cause duplicate logicals in your Array.

I am glad no one told me this before! I have been using GHOST on all my DL380's without any problems for a long time. Although I just do partition restores. Very usefull when 'playing' with various configs to always be able to rewind in less than 10 minutes.

Re: Ghosting

What do you mean by duplicate logicals?

We've been using it very successfully.
