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?
---- I wouldn't waste the time with MSM - I would simply use the BIOS configuration for the RAID storage which can easily look at the drives for RAID configuration and load it if it can find it.
That said, I would suspect that the RAID controllers would have to be identical
