Dear all, I've set up a R610 with PERC6/i and PERC6/e controllers and MD1000 backup. The R610 has 3 disks: 2 in RAID1 configuration, and 1 as a hot-swap.
Before client data was added, I created a restore image using Clonezilla, and tested it on the RAID1 disks successfully (data is over-written by restore process). Now after client data has been added, I have a maintenance time coming up next week where I want to create another restore image and test it---but if possible without deleting data or interfering with the RAID1 configuration. So I want to disable the two RAID1 disks in the BIOS, and use the hot-swap disk as the system disk, do a restore to the new single disk, and test that it runs. Then I want to switch back to the original RAID1 and hot-swap configuration. What I wonder is whether the controller will have an trouble if I disable and reenable RAIDs in this manner? Many thanks in advance for comments and opinions.
