Copying an Existing Disk Array

1.  Back up the configuration of the source system to a  diskette. (See 'Backing Up the Disk-Array Configuration'.)
2.  On the source system, create a copy of the disk array  that you want to use on another system.

    For example, if you want a copy of Array A to use on  another system, create an Array B that is identical to  Array A. (See 'Creating Disk Arrays Manually'.)

3.  Copy all logical drives from the source array to the  target array.

    For example, if you made an identical copy of Array A  and that copy is Array B, you would copy all logical  drives in Array A to Array B. (See 'Copying Logical Drives'.)

4.  Physically remove the hard disk drives that contain  the copy from the source system, then, install them in  the same bays on the target system.

   Note:  Ensure that you install the drives in the same  bays on the target system that the drives of the  source array occupy in the source system.  (Remember, the bay number is equal to the SCSI  ID of the device + 1.)

5.  Using ServerGuide, insert the HardwareGuide CD in  the CD-ROM drive and start the server.
6.  Using the diskette that contains the backup copy of  the source configuration (you created this diskette in Step 1), restore the configuration to the  target system. (See 'Restoring the Disk-Array Configuration'.)
