Looking at:
=> ctrl all show config
Smart Array 5i in Slot 0 ()
array A (Parallel SCSI, Unused Space: 0 MB)
logicaldrive 2 (279.4 GB, RAID 1+0, Interim Recovery Mode)
physicaldrive 1:0 (port 1:id 0 , Parallel SCSI, ??? GB, Failed)
physicaldrive 2:1 (port 2:id 1 , Parallel SCSI, 300 GB, OK)
unassigned
physicaldrive 2:0 (port 2:id 0 , Parallel SCSI, 300 GB, OK)
It appears that the ML370 is using scsi port 1 and the DL360 is using port 2.
I haven't been able to verify that.
You must understand that the metadata say that the mirror originally was located at Port 1 ID 1 and 2.
You have moved HDD 1:1 to 2:1 or 2:0 (I'm not sure wich one is the unassagined)
But it is still waiting for the other Mirror member to be installed on port 1 ID 0.
I see 3 options to choose from.
Take good backup, and prepare an emergency restore plan.
1. Shutdown and power off the server.
Move the disk the ML (Wich must be powered off and all drives removed)
Insert the drive in Port 1 ID 1.
Power up the server and leave the smart array in interim recovery mode.
You don't need to boot the O/S.
Insert a disk in port 1 ID 0.
Let the mirror rebuild.
power down the ML
move both drives to the DL and power it up.
The DL will tell you that the drives appear to has changed places.
I'll guess, that the drive did that when you moved it in the first place.
2. Assign a Hot spare, the mirror and for ever use the hotspare as a part of the mirror. That will leave the mirror redundant, but forever degraded, since it's waiting for the missing disk to be installed.
3. Start all over from scratch = delete array, create new array, and use your emergency recovery plan and backup.
good luck

Here's the link how to break mirror's

Well you don't need to do the sledgehammer.
If it's possible for you to shutdown the ML for 1 -2 hours
Read solution option 1.
but first backup backup backup.

True, there's alway a risk, that why I encurage for a backup, and an emergency restore plan.
If only you put the drive, that you want to maintain in the ML, in position 1, or any other than 0.
Power up the server.
When the SA prompts you that the drive has changed position - Accept (F1)
When it ask you if it has to be in interim recovery mode - accept (F2 or nothing)
As soon as the array is in interim recovery mode, insert a drive in position 0, and it will rebuild.
As soon as rebuild has finished, you can power down and move the drives to the DL
You can create a spare, let it rebuild.
When you move the drive (With the DL powered off) put the spare aside.
A little extra safety.
what ever you do, good luck.

If possible check the IML.
Ahh also, it's DL360 G? - Check that the drive backplane i properly seated:
Power down the server.
Remove the Lid.
Look at the backplane, it's sitting vertical on the system board.
On the G1 models (White) the backplane was secured with a "latch" and a finger screw.
That security has been removed on G3, mayby also on G2.
Check if you can see an opening, where the connectors meet. If so just push down on the backplane.
removing and inserting the drives may caurse marginal connection.

Hi
I have searched the web, this is what I have found:
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;228753
It does indicate hdd subsystem problem.
Check HDD backplane, as sugested.
Test with 1 disk only, as you're doing.
Good thing is, that now it will rebuild correctly, no matter wich of the disks you are using.
Beware to maintain posistion.
