At some point, you may have to replace your Intel® Server Board, potentially due to warranty replacement.
Follow the steps below to move RAID volumes from one system to another with a reduced risk of data loss.
Note | - It is always recommended to back up all data before proceeding with the steps below.
- This should only be done when the old system and new system are the exact same models with same hardware and software configurations. Example: Make sure the BIOS version is the same on both systems.
- If any issues with failed volumes are encountered during this process, they can be attempted to be reset to normal through the UEFI HII menu.
- A SATA RAID array is used in this case. To learn more about how to configure an Intel® VROC (VMD NVMe* RAID) Array for NVMe* drives, consult the system user guide as the BIOS settings are slightly different.
