zavanilli Posted October 12, 2021 Share Posted October 12, 2021 Hello everyone I have a HPE ProLiant DL360p server with 2.5 SAS drives I want to upgrade to DL380p with 3.5 SAS drives. I want to transfer all the data including appData without interrupting my docker containers, VM etc.. to the new 3.5 drives. This will include new parity drive The existing array consists of: 1X SSD 2.5 SATA Cache drive 1TB 1X SAS 2.5 Parity 6X SAS 2.5 data drives New array: 1X SSD 2.5 SATA Cache drive 1TB will be attached via 2.5 to 3.5 adapter/converter 1X 4TB SASA Parity 10X 4TB SASA Data drives I appreciate if someone can guide me through doing this. Most important thing is not to lose my current VMs and container setup. Thank You Quote Link to comment
trurl Posted October 12, 2021 Share Posted October 12, 2021 Can you attach the old disks to the new server? Quote Link to comment
zavanilli Posted October 12, 2021 Author Share Posted October 12, 2021 unfortunately no. These are 2.5 and the new server accommodates 3.5. the idea was to go up on the total capacity and the 3.5 were cheaper to go with Quote Link to comment
