With the HP, i turned off both servers. From server 1 i took the drive from
slot two, and in server 2, put it in slot 2 and left slot 1 empty. Turned both
servers on, they booted right up. Then whatever drive got put in the empty
slot once running, got written to as the mirror.
after that, it was just a matter or running newsid, joining the domain, joining
the farm etc.

I’m pretty sure it was possible but not as simple as in HP or IBM. Along the
lines of it’s not as forgiving if you move the slots so take out a drive from
slot 2 and put it in slot 2 in the second server. And, possibly that you had to
have initialised a mirror up on the 2nd server first and/or that the rebuild
had to be kicked off from the raid console and it took a while
Doable, but not pretty I seem to recall.

Subject: [THIN] Dell Blades and mirroring
Anyone out there running Dell M600 blades? or dealt with them in the past.
I am trying to deploy some cloned servers by breaking mirrors and running new
sid (and all the other associated hoops).
one of the other people that work with me is saying it is impossible to take
one of the mirrored drives out of a dell blade, put it in another blade, and
have it work.
I haven't tried myself yet but I have done this in the past with IBM and HP and
never had a lick of trouble out of the machines. Seems strange that it
wouldn't be possible with dell.
anyone done this with Dell?
Greg
