Introduction to the Sun Blade Storage Module M2
Maintaining the Sun Blade Storage Module M2
At the release of this document, the importing of virtual drives from one SAS–2 REM to another is only supported if you are replacing a failed REM with an identical REM. For example, if you have a Sun Storage 6Gb SAS REM HBA (SGX-SAS6–REM-Z) connected to the Sun Blade Storage Module M2 and the REM fails (but the drives are good), you can import the existing virtual drives to a replacement Sun Storage 6Gb SAS REM HBA (SGX-SAS6–REM-Z).
Caution - Importing virtual drives between different technology REMs, such as importing IR virtual drives created using an LSI Fustion-MPT IR REM (SGX-SAS6–REM-Z) to an LSI MegaRAID REM (SGX-SAS6–R-REM-Z). is not supported. This is because a mismatch in metadata size can cause an import operation to fail and data to be lost. To migrate virtual disk data from one type of REM to another, first do a full backup. Next, attach the drives to the new REM. Then, clear the existing virtual drive configuration and create a new virtual drive using the new REM. Once that is done, the data can be restored from backup to the new virtual drive. |
