Hello SAS 5 only supports migration to another SAS 5, but you should check to see if a foreign configuration is detected on the PERC 5 just in case. Yes, installing another SAS 5 should allow the array to be detected. It is possible that the array was corrupted when the old controller failed, so a data recovery company may be required if the array is not seen by another SAS 5. Thanks
We have inherited a SC1435 from a new customer which has a SAS 5i/r which has failed. The customer would like us to try and get the machine back online to recoverthe data from the 73Gb RAID 1 array. With this in mind, we swapped out the SAS 5i/r with a PERC 5i we have in our spares, in the hope it could read any metadata from the discs to reconstruct the array. The disc are detected without issue, but no logical volume is detected. Can anyone advise on my options available, i.e. if i can find another SAS 5i/r from somewhere would this detect the logical volume, or I have the option create a new RAID1 array on the PERC, but will this hose the existing data, or perhaps another option i havent thought of. Thanks in advance
Replace SAS 5i/r with PERC 5i
