MegaRAID Configuration On Disk

MegaRAID supports Configuration on Disk (drive roaming). Configuration on Disk

controller can detect the RAID configuration, maintaining the integrity of the data on
each drive even if the drives have changed channel and/or target ID.

NOTE: It is important that the new controller have no configuration. Make
sure that NVRAM Configuration is cleared before you install SCSI cables.

Configuration Utility.

4. Press to exit MegaRAID Configuration Utility.

5. Reboot the computer.

sure that NVRAM Configuration is cleared before you install SCSI cables.
