Moving Arrays
CAUTION: Back up all data before removing drives or changing
configurations. Failure to do so could result in permanent loss of
data.
Moving arrays can be just moving an array from one controller to another
controller in another server. Moving arrays also refers to consolidating arrays
that exist on more than one controller onto a single controller. To move an array
to another controller, the conditions listed previously for moving drives and the
following additional restrictions must be met:
■ All drives in the array must be moved at the same time.
■ Positions of drives on the destination controller should not be changed at
the same time.
If any drives are missing or have failed, all data on the moved arrays could be
lost. To protect against data loss, data should be backed up before moving an
array. If you moved an array previously and plan to restore it to its original
controller, see the following section, “Restoring an Array to Its Original
Controller.”
