Not
sure if Don Ely is around today, but I think he had a problem with the Perc Raid
Controllers and Exchange, and found an update on the Dell site.
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
