Identify which drives belong to a specific RAID Group
A total of 32 drives were removed from x4 decommissioned HP DL380 G6 servers (eight per server).
The setup of the eight drives per host was into two RAID Groups:
RAID 1 = SLOT 1, 2 = ESXi OS
RAID 5 = SLOT 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 = VMFS Vol (hosting virtual machines)
Unfortunately there is some data that was not backed up prior to the removal of the drives, and now they are all in a pile mixed up.
What is the best way to put these drive back into the hosts without damaging the RAID groups the disks belong to?
Is there a tool that can be used to ready the RAID membership identifier on each drive? Not sure if ACU supports this!
TIA Danny

Re: Identify which drives belong to a specific RAID Group
What SA controller did you have in your 4 servers?

Re: Identify which drives belong to a specific RAID Group
Hi Dennis,
I generalised a little, the disks were pulled from the hosts by a junior chap, who just piled them up in a box.
The tin: two of MSA50; DL 380 G5; DL380 G6; DL 580 G5
So unfortunately all varying diferent controllers.
Am I doomed?
TIA

>unfortunately all varying diferent controllers.
I thought that if others knew what they were, they could better help you.
