Appendix A: Drive Roaming and Drive Migration Install Drive Roaming Drive roaming occurs when the hard drives are changed to different ports on the same controller. When the drives are placed on different ports, the controller detects the RAID configuration from the configuration data on the drives. Note: If you move a drive that is currently being rebuilt, the rebuild operation will restart, not resume. To use drive roaming, follow these steps: 1. Turn off the power to the system, all drives, enclosures, and system components. Remove the power cord(s). 2. Remove the server system cover. For instructions, see your server system documentation. 3. Move the drives to different positions on the backplane to change the targets. For instructions to install and remove drives, see your server documentation. 4. Determine the target requirements. 5. Make sure the drives are inserted properly. 6. Install the server system cover. For instructions, see your server system documentation. 7. Plug in and power on the system. The controller detects the RAID configuration from the configuration data on the drives (COD).
