Dear All
I'm currently experiencing an issue with my mirrored drives in a DL360 - I'm trying to recover a server that was once a DL380 but I don't have a spare DL380 so I've placed one of the mirrored disks into a DL360. I only have one of the disks available. The OS boots fine from the disk in the DL360 but when I add a second disk it does not rebuild the mirror. I've looked in the array config and it appears that the existing array is looking for a missing disk on SCIS Channel 2.
I have deducted that the two disks in the DL380 were on SCSI Channel 1 and SCSI Channel 2 but the DL360 only has the single channel. So the raid controller has read the array config from the disk and decided that it is missing a disk from SCSI Channel 2 even though that channel does not physically exist in the server.
Does anybody know how I can fix this and retain the data currently residing on the single disk on the DL360.
Thanks
