Note:
When you migrate drives, move only the drives that make up the virtual drive
(not all of the drives in a drive group), so that 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 drives to the
other controller.
2. Turn off power to the server and all drives, enclosures, and system components.
Disconnect the power cords from the systems.
3. Open the host system by following the instructions in the host system technical
documentation.
4. Either remove the SAS cable connectors from the internal drives, or remove the
shielded cables from the external drives that you want to migrate.

5. Remove the drives from the first system, and insert them into the drive bays on the
second system.
6. Connect the SAS cables to the drives in the second system.
7. Determine the SAS target requirements.
