We have an Alpha 2100 with two storageworks shelves. When it was
originally set up, the drives were all defined as JBOD. Since RAID is
already available on this system, we would like to use it.
I backed up all my data, rebooted, loaded the storageworks software, and
defined the drives as RAID 5, with a hot spare. After initializing the
drives, I attempted to load the OS (3.2) on the new RAID drive. It
looked like it was at least partially successful.
When I try to boot from the RAID drive, the system tells me that no disks
are available.
Immediate problem: Why won't my system boot from the RAID drive?
Secondary: What kind of problems am I going to run into when I try to
restore my data from my JBOD drives?
Thanks for any ideas...
