You can't really image the individual drives but you can image the logical disk, would generally involve booting the server from CD though so you get the whole array as the Os would see it. Most imaging programs work with HP Smart Array controllers, presumably that's what you've got. As far as a docking station goes then no, unless you count a DL380 as being one.

Hi,<br />
<br />
I need to make an image of a SAS SATA drive on my HP server running server 2003 standard. Does anyone know if there is a caddy that i could use to make the image such as a docking station/caddy.<br />
<br />
I'm in the UK so any help would be apreciated.<br />
<br />
Many thanks<br />
<br />

Making an image of a SAS sata drive

Servers are computing devices that are similar to desktop computers in that they have the same basic components, but are significantly different in size, configuration and purpose. Servers are usually accessed over a network, and many run unattended, without a computer monitor, input device, audio hardware or USB interfaces. Many servers do not have a graphical user interface (GUI), and are configured and managed remotely. Servers typically include hardware redundancy such as dual power supplies, RAID disk systems, and ECC memory, along with extensive pre-boot memory testing and verification. Critical components might be hot swappable, and to guard against overheating, servers might have more powerful fans or use water cooling.
