troubleshooting Question
Can I put back a pair of RAID1+0 drives to access data?
My client has a Dell PowerEdge 2600.
3 pairs of disks in RAID 1+0.
We copied the data from a volume, replaced a pair of drives for bigger drives (drives 4 and 5 in the array), copied the data back to the new (larger) volume.
The client is now saying some data is missing. It's been about a months, I are able to simply remove the new drives in 4 and 5, put the old drives back in, quickly access the data and find the files they are after (using Windows search with a date switch). After we have the data then pull drives 4 and 5, put back the new 4 and 5 and everything will be fine?
Win 2003 SBS.
Onsite now and would really appreciate some assistance.
Thank you guru's.
