Attention: Do not attempt a hot-replace operation on Windows 2000, Windows
Server 2003, or NetWare by hot-removing a failed controller and then hot-adding a
new controller. Loss of data can occur. If a controller fails on these operating
systems, you must shut down the server to replace the controller.
Copying the configuration from drives
Note:
1. This action is not supported on the integrated RAID controller.
2. (Cluster environment only) Use this action to merge non-shared logical
drives.
Use
this action to copy the configuration from all physical drives into a ServeRAID
controller. This action is useful when replacing a controller and you want to
reestablish the original configuration on the new controller.
If you are replacing a controller in a cluster environment, you must first configure
the cluster parameters by using the ″ Configure for clustering″ action. The cluster
parameters are the following:
v The controller name
v The partner controller name
v The SCSI initiator IDs
After you have configured these parameters, you can use ″Copy configuration
from drives″ to copy the configuration from only the non-shared drives into the
new controller.
1. In the Enterprise view, click
(controller).
2. Right-click Copy configuration from drives.
3. If clustering is not enabled, go to step 4. Otherwise, right-click one of the
following from the menu:
