Array Roaming Compatibility
Array Roaming allows the user the ability to move a complete RAID array from one
computer system (for example, computer #1) to another computer system (computer #2)
and preserve the RAID configuration information and user data on that RAID array.
Computer #2 must also have an SRCS14L controller installed. RAID arrays set up with an
SRCS14L controller cannot roam to computers that use other controllers.
For a migrated RAID array to be recognized by the new host operating system, the host
Note:
system may need to be rebooted.
Warning: RAID arrays set up with an SRCS14L controller cannot roam to computers that use
other controllers (anything other than the SRCS14L). Unpredictable behavior may
include, but is not limited to, data loss or corruption.
