HPE Stroeeasy 1660 e OS reinstall & how to use revovery DVD

[Jh9]

Hi.
The Storey OS is corrupted and is about to be reinstalled.
Storey system configuration.

1.M.2 SSD 480GB * 2EA [RAID1 & logical drive 0] //
Windows Server IoT 2019 for Storage is installed

2. 1.92TB * 9EA [RAID6 & logical drive 1] // partition : data1

3. 1.92TB * 8EA [RAID6 & logical drive 2] // partiton : data2 ,data 3

In this case, if I reinstall it through the recovery DVD, will the Logical Drive in the DATA area be initialized?

All I want is Windows to be initialized and data to be maintained.

I'm using a translator, so I'm sorry if it's not proper English.

Thanks!

Hi,

The operating system would be installed on a logical drive created using S100i controller connected to SSD drives. The data drives will be on a separate RAID controller connected drives.

From server quickspecs sheet:

At any time, user may boot from the DVD and restore the server to the factory condition. This enables user to recover the system if all other means to boot the server fail.

While the recovery process makes every attempt to preserve the existing data volumes, user must have a backup of users data before recovering the system.

NOTE: All data on the original OS logical drive is erased during the recovery process.

Data logical drive would ideally be not impacted while performing system recovery.
