2) Click Revert to Basic Disk .
9. On Server B, use the ServeRAID Manager program to scan for new drives on
all ServeRAID controllers.
10. On Server B, run the same utility, IPSHAHTO.EXE, to make all shared logical
drives available for access by Server B.
Note: If all logical drives are not displayed as okay, there was a problem
bringing drives over from the other server. To diagnose the problem,
use the log files or the ServeRAID Manager to determine if the drives
are critical or offline.
11. Using the Windows 2000 Disk Management Snap-in Computer Management
program, scan for new drives and assign them the same drive letters that you
assigned to each drive on Server A.
Notes:
a. Use the disk volume label as a guide to make sure you assign the same
drive letters on Server B as you assigned on Server A.
b. You might need to press the F5 key multiple times to update the displayed
information. Wait until all logical drive letters appear before attempting to
change the property of any drives.
c. If the Disk Signature Wizard prompts you to write signatures on drives, the
drives have not been correctly recognized. Do the following:
1) On Server A, run the IPSHAHTO.EXE utility.
2) After Server A has successfully brought over all drives, run the
IPSHAHTO.EXE utility on Server B.
3) Repeat step 11.
12. Run IPSHAHTO.EXE from Server A again, so that control of all shared logical
drives returns to Server A.
