Hi all, I have a Dell PowerEdge 1650 with a PERC 3/Di and a PowerEdge 1655MC with a PERC 4/IM. Both servers are running Red Hat Enterprise Linux 3 and hardware RAID 1 (mirroring). 'fdisk' output is slightly different on the two servers: PE1650 Disk /dev/sda: 36.3 GB, 36397645824 bytes 255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 4425 cylinders Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes PE1655MC Disk /dev/sda: 36.3 GB, 36362519040 bytes 255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 4420 cylinders Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes I need to migrate PE1655MC's applications and data to the PE1650 asap. Can I just swap the 1655MC's two hard drives with 1650's ones? I am not sure how the PERC 3/Di and PERC 4/IM handle RAID 1 and if each RAID controller will be able to read the data written by the other one. I am only interested in migrating PE1655MC's data and application to the PE1650, I don't care if PE1650's data and application get lost in the migration. If the swapping the HDs won't work, what is the best way to clone PE1655MC's HDs to PE1650's ones over the network? Is there any special Linux distribution that can be booted off the network (PXE) for it? Thanks a lot. - : send the line "unsubscribe linux-scsi" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
