Note:
Only complete configurations can be migrated; individual
virtual disks cannot be migrated.
Note:
Drive roaming and drive migration cannot be supported at
the same time.
Follow these steps to migrate drives:
Step 1. Make sure that you clear the configuration on the system to
which you migrate the drives, to prevent a configuration data
mismatch between the physical drives and the NVRAM.
Note:
When you migrate drives, move only the disks that make
up the virtual disk (not all of the physical drives in an array),
so you do not see an NVRAM mismatch error (providing a
configuration is on the destination controller). The NVRAM
mismatch error appears only if you move all of the physical
drives to the other controller.
Step 2. Turn off all power to the server and all physical drives,
enclosures, and system components. Disconnect the power
cords from the systems.
Step 3. Open the host system by following the instructions in the host
system technical documentation.
Step 4. Remove the SAS cable connectors from the internal drives that
you want to migrate.
a. Make sure that pin 1 on the cable matches pin 1 on the
connector.
b. Make sure that the SAS cables conform to all SAS
specifications.
Step 5. Remove the physical drives from the first system, and then
insert them into drive bays on the second system.
Step 6. Connect the SAS cables to the physical drives in the second
system.
Step 7. Determine the SAS target requirements.
