so i just set up my drives in my server into raid 1, i have a few questions
first with the gigaraid controller i'm using, i set up the mirror in its bios thing, and it sees that as a single drive in windows, if one of those drives dies, how to i recover it? via the mediashield thingy in bios? the gigaraid utility doesn't see the drives or controllers in server 2k3 even though the drivers are in.
also i set up my sata raid via disk management/add mirror, i'm guessing this is right.
lastly if any of these drives die am i able to just pull the living one out and move it around to other computers like i would a normal drive. I tried this with the IDE raid (the ones on the gigaraid controller) and it told me it was a foreign disk. am i missing something or is this normal and it needs converted without losing data?
sorry for the questions, first time i'm using raid 1 at home on something that isn't a scsi hardware controller.
