<pre wrap="">Hi Ez,
Thanks, I will try it
Worst case if it doesn't work I will have them RescueCD boot and I will
install remotely via VPN tunnel or SSH tunnel - which I don't like and not
sure if it is possible.

<pre wrap="">Hi.
While I agree with Shachar about the advantages of software RAID, this
is not true. All modern RAID controllers maintain a replica of their
configuration on all disks. This allows easy RAID controller migration
between *similar* RAID controllers.
If you ship the disks to another server using the same RAID controller
(for HP servers, interoperability is available between almost all RAID
controllers, but for Dell I don't know), and you insert them
_at_the_original_slot_order_, there should be no problem. You will be
able to Import/Activate your array and be happy with it.

<pre wrap="">Hi,
I have a server abroad that has a RAID setup - that server has died -
I bought another computer but now I want to take disks that I have
"prepared" here in Israel on the same computer setup with RAID and
ship them.
Is it possible to somehow instruct the RAID setup on the new computer
(in the US) to use those disks?
The computer is a DELL PowerEdge R200 with SAS6iR:

Details on such a procedure are scarce.

<pre wrap="">One of the greatest problems with hardware raid is that you need the
actual controller in order to access the disks. Sorry.
