I haven't figured out how to remove a virtual disk from a H800 connected to a MD1200 while MD1200 is on. I am shutting down the T610 and MD1200 then removing the virtual disk.
T610 with H800 connected to MD1200 with two virtual disks. First one is a RAID 10 with a total of six drives, 4 TB each drive. Second virtual disk is a RAID 0, 4 TB. T610 also has a H700 with two virtual disks, first one is a RAID 1 with two disks for OS, and second virtual disk is total of six disks in a RAID 10.
I have a few 4 TB that are configured for individual RAID 0 for offline backup. I want to swap out a one virtual disk 0 for another virtual disk 0. Am I nuts to be using a few 4 TB in RAID 0 as offline backup storage?
Another option is to move the RAID 10 on the PERC H700 to the H800 connected to the MD1200. Then I could use the H700 and the free slots on the T610 for the RAID 0 offline disks.
I would really, really appreciate some help with swapping the disks and comments on handling offline disks as I currently have.
Thanks in advance,
Jeff
