Virtual Disk Migration
The PERC H710, H710P, and H810 cards support migration of virtual disks from one controller to another without taking the target controller offline. The controller can import RAID virtual disks in optimal, degraded,
or partially degraded states. You cannot import a virtual disk that is in an offline state.
Disk migration pointers:
•Supports migration of VDs from PERC H700 and H800 to PERC H710P and H810
•Supports migration of volumes created within H710, H710P, or H810
•Supports migration of volumes created on H310 to H710, H710P, or H810
•Does not support migration from H700 or H800 to H310
•Does not support migration from H710, H710P, or H810 to H310
NOTE: The source controller must be offline prior to performing the disk migration.
NOTE: Disks cannot be migrated to older revisions or generations of the PERC cards.
NOTE:
NOTE: Importing secured virtual disks is supported as long as the appropriate key (LKM) is supplied or configured.
When a controller detects a physical disk with an existing configuration, it flags the physical disk as foreign, and generates an alert indicating that a foreign disk was detected.
CAUTION: Do not attempt disk roaming during RLM or online capacity expansion (OCE). This causes loss of the virtual disk.
