MegaRAID Configuration On Disk
MegaRAID supports Configuration on Disk (drive roaming). Configuration on
Disk saves configuration information both in the MegaRAID NVRAM and on
the disk drives attached to MegaRAID. If MegaRAID is replaced, the new
MegaRAID controller can detect the RAID configuration, maintaining the
integrity of the data on each drive even if the drives have changed channel
and/or target ID.
Note:
It is important that the new controller have no configuration. Make sure that
NVRAM Configuration is cleared before you install SCSI cables.
