moving from plain SCSI to Hardware Raid, possible ?
Hi
all,
We have a
few servers in production which have a couple of SCSI hard
disks.
Currently
only using one of them. The 2nd just houses some data as a
backup.
We're not
really interested in going down the software RAID path, much prefer hardware
RAID.
Anyways
we have a few Adaptec 2110S Single channel RAID cards floating around that we
could use.
The issue
is:
We really
don't want to rebuild the servers from scratch.
Unfortunately I've never done anything like this,
everytime you create a Raid set in Hardware, you initialize/wipe the
disks afaik.
Has
anyone ever successfully done this type of thing ?
Can you
give me a bit of a description on how you did it ?
Also I'd
be interested to hear anyone's theory on how it could be
done.
Thanks
!
