Moving a blade server to another C7000 enclosure

blade-serverhphp-proliant

I need to move a Bl460c G7 blade to another C7000 enclosure. The server is attached to a D2700 SAS direct attached storage through a 6GB SAS Switches which are also inserted in old C7000. I need to know if the server's RAID controller, the SAS switch and D2700 will retain RAID configuration after I move them to another C7000.

Thank you

Yes. The RAID configuration is stored on disk in Smart Array controller setups. You won't lose your configuration unless you explicitly alter the RAID configuration (e.g. deleting a logical drive)

I would move the blade server, then the SAS interconnect and make sure they're recognized. Once that's confirmed, then I'd attach the D2700 enclosure.
