some of them support importing of what they call "foreign configurations". if the controller tells you it recognized a foreign configuration - it probably has an option of importing it. i did this exactly once, moving disks from a M605 with a MPTFusion controller to a M605 with a PERC6/i controller, and it worked. i wouldn't do this on critical data (i.e. data you cannot recreate in a timely manner) without consulting dell's support. --guy _______________________________________________ Linux-PowerEdge mailing list [email protected] https://lists.us.dell.com/mailman/listinfo/linux-poweredge Please read the FAQ at http://lists.us.dell.com/faq
