Hi all,
I have a system running on a Linux *software raid* 10 setup on Ubuntu 14.04. This system is running very well.
However for some reasons this system needs to be moved from one (hardware) host to another host (a HP ML110 G7 Proliant Server). I had in mind to just take the drives from one machine to another. (The actual workload is in a VM hosted on a very basic KVM installation. so as long as I get a base host running, I am happy!)
The HP Proliant though has hardware raid, (and I don't think I can disable it. The original host does not have raid.)
[I don't remember if "Proliant" is rackmount. If not, this anecdote is probably useless...]
Some models are, some are not. The particluar one used here, ML110 G7 is not. Cheers Daniel.
IIRC I had a HP G8 server, and I bought a "passthrough" HBA for it.
