I couldn’t figure out why the enclosure mode switch was up, and OMSA showed the MD1200 operating in split mode. I finally touched the MD1200 control panel and the control panel lights turned on. I hadn’t caught on that the panel lights were off, oops.
I would like to have the MD1200 operate in unify mode. The instructions regarding switching from split to unify mode are a bit worrisome, the part that says “…some virtual disks may appear as foreign if the configuration is not deleted before turning the enclosure back up.” I really don’t want to loose the data on the virtual drive. If the T610 is powered down, then the MD1200 is powered down, process reversed, will there be any problems with the existing data on the RAID?
There is one RAID 10 with 4 tb hard drives, a total of six disks in slots 0-5. The controller is a H800 and the server is a T610. The EMM firmware is 1.01, H800 is 12.10.6-0001, OMSA is 8.1.0.
Thanks,
Jeff
