asked on

Raid 10 recovery one hard drive at a time?

Hi guys,

Scenario:
Dell blade server which has smoke damage due to a fire in the building.
HDD's SATA seem ok.
VMware ESXi

Aim is to get the VM's out.

Is there a way to recover a Raid 10 array of 6 hard drivers, BUT i only have the ability to see one HDD at a time via a PC (maybe I will need some raid recovery software).  I have a dual bay SATA caddy that I intend on using.

Any suggestions people?  Any other ideas?

Many Thanks.

Can't you just transfer the drives to another blade???  and import the disks?

??? = I don't think Dell have a blade with more than two disk bays, sounds like it may be a 1U server.
