switch from STS to SAS RAID

Dear all, 

I have a ML110 G7   with a P410 here (no battery pack).

 

Because the drives were not available at time of delivery and we needed the machine, I took it up and running with one SATA drive.

Now I want to switch over the existing installation to the SAS RAID. 

First I generated the RAID - working fine. But how to copy the data over from SATA -> RAID?

This seems to be much more different than I thought:

 

 I tried it to recover a full backup from Acronis backup for SBS, which we use anyway, because Acronis has an option for recovery onto different hardware - didnt work because the new RAID was (due to RAID overhead) apparently some KB smaller than the old drive and thus migration not possible.

 

Now I cloned the original drive with Paragon onto the RAID, took the old drive out and rebootet. 

 

But now it seems the RAID is broken:

The ROM config Tool displays the Logical drive as "not available". 

(could it be I overwrote important RAID information?)

 

How can I do this? 

Could I perhaps copy the data to one standalone SAS drive (no RAID) and then change that into a RAID? Is that possible?

 

Has anyone an idea?

 

 

Also: is it normal that an ML110 G7 needs about 2 minutes alone until the bootscreen with the proliant logo?

 

Any help much appreciated,

 

Jan
