Dell Shared PowerEdge RAID Controller 8 Cards For Dell PowerEdge VRTX Systems User’s Guide

Migrating virtual disks if the target system is turned on

Turn off the source system.
Move the appropriate physical disks from the source system to the target system with a similar Shared PERC 8 card.
- NOTE: If you are moving an entire JBOD enclosure, make sure to turn off the JBOD before cabling to the new controller.
Access the Dell Chassis Management Controller (CMC) to import and clear the foreign configuration.
- NOTE: For more information on importing or clearing the foreign configuration, see the Dell Chassis Management Controller for Dell PowerEdge VRTX User’s Guide at Dell.com/poweredgemanuals.
- NOTE: If write cache is enabled for these virtual disks, ensure that all cache is flushed to the hard drives on the source system before removing them. This can be accomplished by stopping all applications, powering down the blades, and waiting 30 seconds before powering down the chassis.
