The data layout on these is compatible. You may be prompted that the
configuration is foreign. Simply import it and you shouldn't have any
problems.

Subject: RAID5 array from PERC/5i to PERC 6/I

Hi all,

I'd bought severall PowerEdge 2950 with built in RAID 5 hardware
controler. Unfortunatly some are PERC 5/i and some are PERC 6/i. Can I
move a bunch of RAID 5 disks from a PERC 5/i to a PERC 6/i server and
also from PERC 6/i to PERC 5/i ? One server is a global spare for the
others.

I don't know if the distributed parity RAID5 format is the same between
both controler models.

Best regards,
