Migrate RAID to new server
background
Server: Dell R730xd with H330 RAID Controller Storage: 2x800G SSD configured in RAID 1 Requirement: Migrate the SSDs to a new server while maintaining the RAID 1 configuration and preserving data integrity
将SSD迁移至新的服务器，并保证RAID配置、数据不变
Steps
To migrate RAID 1 configuration from the Dell R730xd with the H330 RAID controller to a new server, you can follow these steps:
从Dell R730xd服务器迁移RAID 1配置，可以按照以下的步骤进行
Prepare the new server: Ensure the new server has a compatible RAID controller
确保新服务器的RAID控制器适配，一般同一品牌的RAID控制器都能够适配
Shut down the old server: Power off the R730xd server containing the RAID 1 configuration.
关闭旧服务器
Connect the disks to the new server: Remove the two SSDs configured in the RAID 1 array from the old server. Install the two disks into the new server’s RAID controller.
将两块硬盘插到新的服务器中，位置、顺序可以不一样。
Import the foreign configuration: When you power on the new server, the RAID controller will detect the existing RAID 1 configuration as a “foreign” configuration. You can then import this configuration into the new RAID controller. You can do this through the PERC BIOS configuration utility by selecting “Import Foreign Configuration”.
- Press
<F>to automatically import the foreign configuration. - Enter the BIOS Configuration Utility and navigate to the Foreign Configuration View.
新服务器开机，进入到RAID控制器中，会出现一个选择"Import Foreign Configuration"，导入外部配置，就可以将旧的RAID配置导入。
Verify the RAID 1 configuration: After importing the foreign configuration, ensure the RAID 1 array is properly recognized and functioning on the new server.
导入配置以后，确到RAID 1 阵列被正确的识别。到这一步，所有的工作就全部完成了！
