OK, here's what I have: - Running system with a single-disk RAID-0 (disk 0:0:0) - Spare disk of same model/capacity, from another PERC5 (disk 0:0:1) I want to be able to get into a state where I can raid-level-migrate and convert the current virtual disk (0:0:0) into a RAID-1 mirror. Currently, the fact that disk 0:0:1 contains a foreign config is preventing this. I *don't* want to trash the data on disk 0:0:0 which, while backed-up, will be irritating to rebuild. I do, however, have a spare 1950/PERC5 chassis I can put the disk in, although I can't see any way in the PERC bios to clear any configuration present on the disk - clearing the foreign config on a different PERC doesn't seem to do that in quite the way you expect.
