Wasn't
there some posts a while back about Dell PERC RAID Controller Cards?
Something specific about Exchange and SQL databases and the manner in which PERC
Controllers cache data....
We
had this recently (started after a hardware change), and did exactly what you
sound as if you're planning on doing: added second server to site, moved
mailboxes, PFs, connectors etc. Removed original server (see relevant Q
article that I can't remember the no. of at the mo. & am just off home so
too lazy to check!), let hardware support co. sort problem on original
server. Added repaired original server back (actually it wasn't, it
was a new server they gave us 'cos they couldn't find a problem with the
other !), moved everything back, removed our spare server from the site
as before.
Worked fine: no data loss, minimal user disruption -
excellent!

While checking the event logs on
the Exchange server I found several 1018 errors. I have convinced
management to get another server here so I can move all of our mailboxes to
it. This will allow extensive testing of the problematic server.
I understand that this is likely caused by a hardware problem but I would
like any advice any of you may have on this problem.
Server is a Dell 2550 Dual
