What Gen? Namely which card? You'll find manuals here: http://h18004.www1.hp.com/products/servers/proliantstorage/arraycontrollers/
Check the sections on Moving drives and arrays, it would detail the state of the controller as it needs to be in before a "percieved" set of new drives gets plugged in. jlc ________________________________ From: Graeme Carstairs [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, June 20, 2008 3:48 PM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: Resetting a HP Smart Array, and making it read the config from the disks Help. I have been contacted by someone who has moved some HP DL380 servers to a new premises. On powering one of the units up, he is informing me that an error has occured. The SA reports that there is no array dvices present and that the controllers are locked until this situation is resolved. he has asked me to go out an see what I can do on Sunday. I know that the HP SA stores the RAID config on the Card and accross all the disks in the set as a backup. I think I need to reset the card and make it read the config from the disks. Does anyone know where to find how to do this on the HP website, I have tried searching but I always struglle finding things on the HP site, so any help would be appreciated.
