Hi there,

Does anyone know if MigrateEasy will support a system that has a hardware RAID controller? To the best of my knowledge, the controller presents its logical drives as if they were SCSI IDs. i.e.: First logical drive = SCSI ID 0, second logical drive = SCSI ID 1 and so on. We are looking to use the software to migrate the entire array to larger disks (yes, we have a new drive to temporarily house the server's 'disk' on).

What is your Raid Controller.

It will not work with my Raid0 Array with SiliconImage 3112 Raid controller.

That the only help and info I can give you.

Best to email Acronis Support :- support@acronis.com

Hi there,

I did hear back from Acronis, and apparently the 'bigger' RAID controller names do work. I think that the RAID BIOS has to make the logical drives look like 'regular' DOS drives - I know that's how the IBM ServeRAID works, anyway. I think that'll work for us.

Thanks for the reply!
