Hi everyone - I have a single SCSI 18G HD running on the integrated SCSI controller in this server. I have 2 other 18G SCSI drives and a Smart Array controller..the controller is installed in the system.
Server is running NT4 Server SP6 and I need to create a RAID1 mirror without data loss and move it from the integrated controller over to the smart array controller.
Can I use the two blank 18G drives, create the mirror with them, then swap my currently configured 18GB drive onto the mirror and let it rebuild, or will I have to use the existing drive and let the controller wipe it out when creating the mirror and reinstall/reimage?
Basically - what can I do to get this non-raid 18GB drive onto the new array controller mirrored without loss of data?
Thanks
