I have not actually done this - but last week at a HP presentation focusing
on blades we were clearly told that there was a registry entry you could
make on a DL then pull the drives and place them in a blade (in the correct
order) and the drives will boot up fine.
I contacted the guy who said this and this is his reply on how to do this
"on a system (i.e. DL or BL with the SA5i - SmartArray 5i controller) in it
- run the attached file (rename for extension to .reg) and it will add the
current SmartArray 6i (SA6i) registry entries to the system. Update to the
latest ProLiant Support Pack - and then you can move drives between DL's and
BL's of different generations.
Going from a DL to a BL you will see one or two more NICs appear, etc.
Re-scan hardware updates from the OS should update this.
Apart from that - we have done this a number of times quite successfully. I
think as I mentioned at the roadshow, the BL's are an evolutionary step
after the DL's - so all is good."
The reg file he sent me contained the following
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\CriticalDeviceDatabase\
pci#ven_0e11&dev_0046&subsys_40910e11]
"ClassGUID"="{4D36E97B-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}"
"Service"="cpqcissm"
As I said at the beginning - I have not personally done this - but I have
know the guy from HP fro a few years and he does know his stuff.
