Guest Scott S Posted March 3, 2008 Posted March 3, 2008 I am working on a Dell Poweredge 2900 with an integrated RAID controller. The server consists of 2 RAID 1 160GB hard drives. I have a few 80GB hard drives and would like to ghost the OS Image from the 160 GB Drive to the RAID 0 80GB hard drive. The trouble I am having is that after the ghost is complete the server will not boot from the 80GB drive. Is there a way to break the 160gb Mirror or convert to RAID 0, before GHOSTING

Guest Scott Santorio Posted March 4, 2008 Posted March 4, 2008 Re: GHOST RAID 1 to 0 I agree, this is what the client requested, I have never downgraded the RAID on a server before. I built it with RAID1 and never expected to have to change it. The client would like everything on seperate hard drives ie) OS (Mirrored and stored off premisis) DATA Backed up manually every night to another hard drive, then backed up to tape. Here is the current config 2 160 GB Hard drives partitioned C:(OS) D:\Data and mirriored to the other using RAID 1 Client Requested new config: ALL Raid 0 Drives 1-80GB OS 1-Ghosted to 80GB Drive and removed from premisis. 1-160GB Data 1-160GB Dailey DATA backup Dailey & Weekly Backup to USB Tape Drive. I am using GHOST 2003 to ghost the partition from the current C:\Partition to a new 80GB hard drive, after this is complete the server will not boot from the new drive due to the current RAID Config. The problem is that it tells me that I have to reconfigure the drive thus loosing data.

Guest Thee Chicago Wolf Posted March 4, 2008 Posted March 4, 2008 Re: GHOST RAID 1 to 0 >How do you go about fixing the MBR on a NTFS drive? Well, you ought to be able to boot off the CD and go to the recovery console (a.k.a. C:\>). From there, you should be able to do a fixboot and / or fixmbr command. It may help, it may not. It's something to try. - Thee Chicago Wolf
Guest Kerry Brown Posted March 5, 2008 Posted March 5, 2008 Re: GHOST RAID 1 to 0 This doesn't make sense to me. RAID 0 requires two drives. If you setup the two 160 GB drives in a RAID 0 array you would end up with one 320 GB array. The OS would see this as one drive. It sounds to me like you are actually not using RAID at all. It sounds to me like boot.ini is pointing to the wrong ARC path http://support.microsoft.com/kb/317526 Boot from the OS CD to the recovery console and use the bootcfg command http://support.microsoft.com/kb/317521 If you have two 80 GB drives setup as a 160 GB RAID 0 array then the above is probably not the answer.

Guest Scott S Posted March 5, 2008 Posted March 5, 2008 Re: GHOST RAID 1 to 0 Kerry, You are correct, If I could the client would like no raid at all just separate physical disks as stated below. The problem is that if I disable the Dell PERC 5/i the server does not see any of the physical drives and I believe that there are only 2 onboard SATA controllers so a multi-drive environment would not work in this environment. The config that I am looking for is the following: 1-80GB OS >> 1-Ghosted to 80GB Drive and removed from premises. >> 1-160GB Data >> 1-160GB Dailey DATA backup I would like the server to see all physical disks as what they are installed.
