Thus I am only describing that migration:įirst lets check the status of the ZFS pool: sudo zpool status With both of them the story was the same as I am expecting the Hitachi drive migration will be. I have now migrated both the Seagate drives back into the drive cage.
Unfortunate it turned out not to be that simple. Then do a quick test or resilver and continue on its merry way. Ideally ZFS will recognise that the drive is already a part of the pool. And finally replace the drive in the ZFS pool. I will then expose that drive as an individual logical drive in the HP Raid controller software. That will keep the RAIDZ array operational though degraded. So the plan is to remove one drive at a time. If I am mistaken, you are very welcome to comment below. Then export each of the 3 drives as individual logical drives and thats it!īut as far as I can understand there is more to this move.
Put the two Seagate Constellation ES drives back into the Hotplug Drive Cage and the Hitachi drive to the Mini-SAS to 4x SATA cable and switch the system back on. Theoritically this could be a simple task – shut down the server and move the drives. Now it is time to move the ZFS RAIDZ drives that is on the onboard SATA controller to the HP P410 controller. But if you look closer at the standard Front Fan blue shroud there is actually a place where you can click it in. The Battery Backup has no obvious place to sit. In hindsight this cable is too long and I will get another – shorter – cable in the future in order to ease cable management. I also purchased a Mini-SAS to 4x SATA 1m cable. In my case a single cable connects to the 4 bay SAS/SATA 3.5″ Hot-Plug drive cage. The two Mini-SAS connectors carry each 4 lanes of either SAS or SATA. This module fits into the P410 that is currently empty. This seems to be New Old Stock and I am wondering if the battery cells are still ok. I ordered a 512MB Battery Backed Write Cache (HP 462975-001) with Battery pack.
In addition to that it has an HP SmartArray P410 8 port SAS/SATA controller. It has an onboard SATA controller with 6 SATA ports. The HP Proliant ML150 G6 server that I am using for our Home Server has 2 storage controllers. The drives are connected to two different Hardware installation In Setting up a Home Server using an old (2009) HP Proliant ML150 G6 I describe how my storage pool is using a mixed set of drives.
#Hp smart array p410i controller disk status commands upgrade
My Home Server is struggling with high IOWait under IO load and the time has come to upgrade the HP SmartArray P410 SAS/SATA controller with Write Cache.
