In the PERC 4e/Di configuration utility, I can see two new disks, but I don’t know how to tell it to use They do not blow away the data on these disks. There is no mention in the online PERC manual about migrating disks other than the “Use a pre-loaded SCSI drive’as is'” section, it assumes that I can access the original controller to set up some logic Drive number.
Can I safely add these two disks to RAID1 on a new machine without losing data? I can’t just put it there-it doesn’t allow a single non-RAID disk.
>Remove all disks from the recipient’s server and add Reset all controller configurations to factory default settings (virtual disk is not defined).
>Insert the donor disk into the recipient server. If possible, insert the donor disk into the same slot in the backplane as in the original server In. Boot the recipient server to the PERC configuration BIOS.
>Use the “View/Add Configuration” function under the “Configuration” menu. This will cause PERC to read the configuration from the disk.
I It is not possible to test this now, so please use this recommendation with caution. If you do not have a data backup on the drive, please create one now. (As a RAID-1 of PERC, you should be able to install the disk on a non-RAID controller and read Take the content. Historically, PERC did not use any proprietary striping format of RAID-1.)
I have a Dell PE 2850 die, and I need to SCSI The disks are moved to another PE 2850. These disks are in RAID1. I tried to move them over, just hoping that PERC would do the right thing, but it did not automatically install them or anything.

PERC is generally pretty good for me. I don’t have PERC 4e/ Di is convenient, but the general procedure has always been (for me):
>Remove all disks from the recipient server and reset all controller configurations to factory default settings (not Define the virtual disk).
>Insert the donor disk into the recipient server. If possible, insert the donor disk into the same slot in the backplane as in the original server. Boot the recipient server to the PERC configuration BIOS .
>Use the “View/Add Configuration” function under the “Configuration” menu. This will cause PERC to read the configuration from disk.
