8.
Check /var/adm/syslog/syslog.log for the following messages:
CISS: RAID SA controller on hardware path <hw1> has detected the
removal of a physical disk
CISS: RAID SA controller on hardware path <hw2> has detected the
insertion of a physical disk
IMPORTANT:
If these messages are not present, the disk movement was not successful. Power
off the system and return the disks to their original locations. You might need to restore the
data from backup media.
9.
To verify the new disk configuration, use ORCA or
sautil
.
See
and
“The sautil <device_file> command” (page 63)
.
Moving disks to a controller on a different server
To move disks from one server (the “source system”) to a Smart Array controller on a different
server (the “destination system”):
1.
Confirm that the prerequisites have been met. See “
.”
2.
Label the disks and make note of their positions.
IMPORTANT:
If you are moving an array, the disks must remain in the same order.
3.
Back up all the data in the array.
4.
Shut down and power off the source system.
5.
Shut down and power off the destination system, if necessary:
•
If you are moving a boot disk and you want to boot the destination server from that disk,
shut down and power off the destination system.
•
If you are not moving a boot disk, do not shut down the destination system.
6.
Move the disks.
7.
Power on the source system.
8.
Power on the destination system and set the boot options, if necessary.
9.
If you moved a boot device to the destination system, configure the system to enable booting
to the new device:
•
To configure boot options offline using EFI utilities, see the documentation for your server
on the HP website at http://www.hp.com/go/Integrity_Servers-docs.
•
To configure boot options online, use the
setboot(1M)
command.
For more information, see the
setboot(1M)
manpage.
10. Check /var/adm/syslog/syslog.log files on the source and destination systems.
•
On the source system, look for this message:
CISS: RAID SA controller on hardware path <hw1> has detected the
removal of a physical disk
•
On the destination system, look for this message:
CISS: RAID SA controller on hardware path <hw2> has detected the
insertion of a physical disk
IMPORTANT:
If these messages are not present, the disk movement was not successful. Power
off the system and return the disks to their original locations. You might need to restore the
data from backup media.
