Hi Spicies,
Exchange server = Dell R510, 2 intel xeons, 32GB RAM, 4 10k HDDS in RAID 10. All roles installed on single server, no fail over due to "to much cost"... ironic now its dead.
2 days ago our exchange server died (wouldn't post) after failing to get it to boot we called dell and got an engineer out under warranty. After 2 days of replacing nearly every component of the server, it still won't post. The engineer has given up and is getting us a replacement sent out tonight. (me and the other technician are working the weekend).
The new server is similar model/spec, so we are expecting the new server to be able to boot with the old HDDs in. However the new HDDs are 15k, id preferably want to use this drives.
My question is can the 4 old drives (raid 10) be cloned over to the new ones safely/successfully? how would you recommend...
