I've got two drives from a now-dead server, they were RAIDed, a
mirror,
I'd assume. I need to see if there's anything on them I need to transfer to the replacement, so I just shoved them into another Dell server, with a PERC 5 controller - I think that's what the dead one had. I fired up MegaRAID storage manager... but can't see any way to tell it to recreate that RAID. Anyone done this?
Recent experience indicates... if the machine had any kind of warranty with Dell, an authorized owner/technician should call Dell before doing ANYTHING more with the drives.
