4.2 Configuration on Disk
Configuration on Disk (drive roaming) saves configuration information
both in nonvolatile random access memory (NVRAM) on the MegaRAID
SCSI 320-0, and on the disk drives controlled by the MegaRAID SCSI
320-0. If the MegaRAID SCSI 320-0 is replaced, the new MegaRAID
SCSI 320-0 controller can detect the actual RAID configuration,
maintaining the integrity of the data on each drive, even if the drives have
changed channel and/or target ID.
