Moving a Unit from One Controller to Another

www.3ware.com 139

3DM includes two features that help you move a unit without powering down

the system, allowing you to hot swap the unit. The Remove Unit feature lets

you prepare a unit to be disconnected from the controller, and the Rescan

feature checks the controller for drives that are now connected, and updates

the 3DM screens with current information. For details, see “Removing a

Unit” on page 136 and “Rescanning the Controller” on page 145.

Moving Units from an Earlier 9000 Series to a

9650SE or 9690SA Controller

If you are moving units from a 9500S controller to a 9650SE or 9690SA

controller, the process is a little different. The steps you follow depend on

whether you are booting from the drives attached to the 9500S, or whether

they are being used for secondary storage.

To move a bootable unit from an earlier 9000 series controller to a

9650SE or 9690SA controller

1 If you are working with a Linux system, skip to step 2.

If you are working with a Windows system:

a Power down the computer.

b Install the 9650SE or 9690SA controller in the computer, leaving the

original controller installed and its drives attached.

c Boot to the operating system.

Note: Moving a unit to another controller while the unit is in the migration state is

supported with one restriction. If the unit was in the middle of the migration process

and the controller was shutdown uncleanly, the unit cannot be moved to another

controller until the unit has recovered from the unclean shutdown. This may require

initializing, verifying, or rebuilding the unit.

Note: If you wish to move an array with Rapid RAID Recovery enabled to a

controller with pre-9.5.1 firmware, you will need to disable Rapid RAID Recovery,

otherwise the older firmware will not recognize the unit.

Caution: If you have a configured RAID unit on an older controller, such as an

8506, and you move the drives to a new controller, such as a 9690SA, you must

first convert the units from 7xxx/8xxx format to 9xxx format using a 3ware utility

available from 3ware Technical Support.

You cannot move drives back from a 9690SA controller to an older controller

and maintain the data. If you want to swap drives back and forth between

controller cards, be sure to have a backup of your data.
