Need to rebuild HDD?

[bombergirl]

Next week I will be helping in the relocation of 2 Dell Servers. My manager has asked me to shutdown the server and remove the hot swap hdd and pack them in boxes. Once the movers have shifted the new rack in the new location, i will plug back the hdd and power on.

Just a question, will I need to rebuild the mirror once i plug the hdd back into server? I need some advise cause this is the first time i am using Dell server.

Thanks

I don't see why any config would be lost
u should be ok
out of curiosity what model server is it

The RAID config is held both on the PERC card and the disks and neither is getting wiped in your scenario so you won't need to rebuild anything.

MAKE SURE YOU LABEL THE DRIVES AND PUT THEM BACK IN THE EXACT ORDER THEY ARE NOW!!! (caps are on purpose)
