Move disks to different StorEdge, keeping RAID
Hi.
I need to move a 5 disk RAID5 array from a SE3310 box to a different SE3310 array. After installing the disks in the "new" StorEdge device, I "would like"
to be able have access to the data which is on the RAID.
Essentially, the quesion is, how can this be done?
I checked the Sun StorEdge 3310 SCSI Array Documentation, but haven't found any hints on how to do this (but this might of course just mean, that I overlooked something... *G*). Also the telnet interface to the SE3310 doesn't seem to provide a way of doing this (ie. move disks to new box, keep RAID).
I could of course restore the stuff from tape, but it would be nicer, if this wouldn't have to be done
Thanks a lot for any help you can provide,
Alexander

ataraid
ATARAID(4) BSD Kernel Interfaces Manual ATARAID(4) NAME
ataraid -- software BIOS RAID SYNOPSIS
pseudo-device ataraid ld* at ataraid? vendtype ? unit ? DESCRIPTION
The ataraid driver provides support for BIOS-based software RAID controllers. These are devices which have some simple support for several basic RAID levels (often RAID 0 and RAID 1), but which require software support to actually perform the RAID function. The BIOS support is largely just to create and recognize the array so that it may be a boot device. The driver currently supports RAID formats from: o Adaptec HostRAID (found in Intel 6300ESB) o Intel MatrixRAID o JMicron RAID o nVidia MediaShield o Promise FastTrak o Via V-RAID (found in many VIA-based motherboards) Status of the logical disk as well as the disks associated with it, can be viewed through the bioctl(8) utility. SEE ALSO
ld(4), bioctl(8) HISTORY
The ataraid driver first appeared in NetBSD 2.0. AUTHORS
The ataraid driver was originally adapted from FreeBSD by Jason Thorpe <thorpej@NetBSD.org>. BUGS
Not all features of the software RAID are currently recognized or supported. For example, the Adaptec support doesn't recognize when a RAID 1 should be in a ``building'' state, and it does not do the right thing. At least part of the reason for this is that the publically-available information on these formats is quite limited. BSD
