How to remove raid 5 array of 5 SAS and use only use one SAS at a time without writing any thing to disc for recovery
- by murtaza hamid
I have HP server ML370 g5 with 8 SAS, c drive 1 72 gb raid 0, d drive 2 72 gb raid 0, f drive 5 146 gb raid 5.
2 of 5 sas drive has got bad sectors and raid 5 is showing status failed.
now i want to remove all this 5 SAS and put 1 by 1 in any of the bay to make its image for data recovery purpose without writing anything to the drive. how should i proceed. i also want to keep drive c and d intact. also is it possible if i put all this 5 drives in the bay with the same sequense will it recognise the raid 5 array ( i read some where its smart controller..just curious)
many thanks in advance.
