Hi,
How would one go go about cloning a SAS RAID1 array in a blade server to a SATA drive?
First of all, since this is mirroring with no parity data, would it be sufficient to clone a single drive rather than both?
Second, is there such a thing as a USB to SAS enclosure, so that I can pop the SAS drive into one of these, connect it to a regular PC with a SATA drive within, and use Acronis or something to clone?
If this is not possible, is the reverse possible? i.e. installing a SATA drive into a USB enclosure, connect it to the blade server and use Acronis to clone?
Lastly, if I wish to clone this to a SATA RAID1 array, can I clone them individually?
Thanks!
