Changing the RAID controller.
Will there be any issue to the RAID config if I change the RAID card as a warranty replacement. Warranty received for a issue in RAID battery charging.
Note: I can properly shutdown the server before the part replacement.

RKumarage,
This will be dependent on the controller used. Most of the controllers you would simply shut down the server, replace the controller, and power up. When you boot up you will access the controller BIOS and see a Foreign Configuration, this is due to the new controller having no Virtual Disk configuration data stored to it, but the drives will. You will want to IMPORT the Foreign Configuration, meaning you want the controller to import the Virtual Disk configuration data from the drives and use that, as it has no configuration data itself. After that then you should be good to go.
Let me know if this helps.
