I'm halfway through a disk migration to increase space and now want to
poll the group before proceeding...
OLD: One virtual disk (Virtual Disk 0) comprised of two 146 GB physical drives
in controller slots 0 and 1. This was the system disk.
WANT: One virtual disk (named Virtual Disk 0) comprised of two 300 GB
physical drives in controller slots 0 and 1. This will be the new system disk.
Steps taken so far:
1) Inserted two 300 GB physical drives in controller slots 2 and 3 and
created Virtual Disk 1.
2) Copied all the info from Virtual Disk 0 to Virtual Disk 1.
3) Rebooted into PERC BIOS, and:
a) Forced offline the two 146 GB drives. This made VD0 disappear
as expected.
b) Physically removed the two 146 GB drives.
4) This worked fine. Machine rebooted and now on a larger virtual disk.
What I want may seem petty, but I'd like to move the two physical disks
from slots 2 and 3 back into slots 0 and 1, and rename the VD from
Virtual Disk 1 to Virtual Disk 0.
The rename is trivial, but moving disks scares me. Am I correct in
fearing that if I were to force offline the two drives and move them
from slots 2/3 into slots 0/1, that things would go awry?
What is the safe way (if any) of moving the disks?
Thanks,
Ken
