SolutionThis can be done, with some caveats:
1. You must move the drives in the same order as that were in the system they came from. In other words, keep the SCSI ID's the same or at least in the same progression.
2. You should only migrate drives from and to the same type of controller. Here is a migration document that will help.

3. There are some problems moving the boot partiton arrays from one controller to another based upon the O/S installed and what drivers are used.
Otherwise this is commonly done.
If you have specific controllers and servers in mind, post those here and we can work out some details.
Hope this helps! -john

Re: Moving RAID array from one Proliant server to another
Great information. Thank you.
I have the same question with more information.
I'd like to move an 8 drive array from one DL380 G7 (Windows Server 2008 R2) to another. Both computers are basically identical with the same Windows install, etc. If I move all the drives and controller from one CPU to another and keep the drive order, cables, etc. exactly the same, will the array drive just show up once I boot the second CPU with the relocated 8 drives and P410 controller installed?
Thanks in advance.

Re: Moving RAID array from one Proliant server to another
I have an array from a ML10V2 where there was amotherboard failure. Bought another ML10V2 and put array in it but it didnt recognise the array. But it did see the 2 volumes. Ran hpssaoffline and it seems right but the drives are reporting 100% full. Cannot repair windows S2016 ... boot deatils are no good.
????
Im out of ideas...

The ML10v2 is a software based RAID system. Make sure the RAID function of the SATA controller is enabled in the system ROM.

Re: Moving RAID array from one Proliant server to another
Yes raid is set in bios. The boot process can see 2 volumes which is correct. An SSD for the first volume with S2016 on it and 4 x 3Tb hdds in raid 10. But SSA offline sees the drives as 100% full? I know they are not full, not even 50% so what is going on? If I delete the volumes in SSA offline and recreate them will they be blank? Or be ok ? everything I have read is ambiguous. I'd like to keep the data, some of which is photos that sre not backed up. This was the backup!
What should I do now?

Re: Moving RAID array from one Proliant server to another
make sure the new system is running the same or newer firmware versions as the system being replaced. If you re-create the arrays the existing data will be destroyed
