When you replace one adapter with another, you do not need to worry about data compatibility. Data created using any HP NetRAID Series adapter is compatible with any other HP NetRAID Series adapter. Further, data created using HP NetRAID non-I2O drivers is compatible with an adapter using I2O drivers. To replace any HP NetRAID or HP NetRAID-1 adapter with an HP NetRAID-3Si adapter, you need to: • Back up your data • Load the appropriate driver • Insert the HP NetRAID-3Si adapter and recreate the configuration Back Up Your Data Back up all data on the drives controlled by the adapter that will be removed. Load the Appropriate NetRAID Driver To load the required HP NetRAID drivers, you will follow these steps as described in Chapter 6 of this guide: 1. Decide which HP NetRAID drivers you need as described in Step I of this guide. NOTE This guide does not contain instructions on I2O drivers. If you are installing I2O block storage OSM drivers, see the HP web site at www.hp.com/go/netserver for installation instructions, and then return to the next section in this chapter called "Insert the HP NetRAID-3Si Adapter and Recreate the Configuration." 93
