Moving Legacy JBOD Units to a 9000 Controller
The steps for moving legacy JBOD units vary, depending on the operating
system you are using.
To move legacy JBOD units under Linux or FreeBSD
1 Upgrade your driver to the 9000 series driver.
2 Power down the system, disconnect the drives from the 8000 controller
and remove the controller from the system.
3 Install the 9000 controller and attach the drives to the 9000 board, as
described earlier in this section.
4 Reboot the system and enter the 3ware 9000 series BIOS (3BM) by
pressing Alt-3. Enable the Export JBOD policy on the Policy screen.
5 Press the
F8 or Esc key to save and exit.
To move legacy JBOD units under Windows
1 Install the 9000 controller in your system, while leaving the
8000 controller installed.
2 Install the Windows driver. (For details, see “Driver Installation Under
Windows” on page 30.)
3 Power down the system, disconnect the drives from the 8000 controller
and remove that controller from the system.
4 Attach the drives to the 9000 board.
5 Reboot the system and enter the 3ware 9000 series BIOS (3BM) by
pressing Alt-3. Enable the Export JBOD policy on the Policy screen.
6 Press the
F8 or Esc key to save and exit.
Moving Units from a 9500S to a 9550SX or
9590SE Controller
It is fairly straightforward to move units from a 9500S controller to a 9550SX
or 9590SE controller. The steps you follow depend on whether you are
booting from the drives attached to the 9500S, or whether they are being used
for secondary storage.
To move a bootable unit from a 9500S to a 9550SX or 9590SE
controller
1 If you are working with a Linux system, skip to step 2.
