Hello mykul The RAID configuration is stored on the hard disks. When exchanging the controller you want to be sure that there is no cache data still on the controller. If you shut the system down normally then there should be no cache data left on the controller. If you want to be sure then you can disable write caching before removing the controller. Just switch it to write-through caching to disable the use of cache. After you put the new controller in the array will most likely show up as foreign. You can import the foreign configuration to bring the array online. That will store the array configuration on the new controller. Before switching controllers I would recommend taking screen shots or writing down the information about your array configurations. RAID level, size, stripe size, spans, which drives are in which arrays, etc. If there is an issue with bringing the array online on the new controller this information could be very useful. Thanks
I need to replace the PERC6/i on a PowerVault 500 server. What steps do I need t take to make sure that I do not lose the current RAID configuration once I have installed the replacement card?
