We have a PowerVault MD1200 that we would like to reformat using a different RAID level (if possible). It is connected to a server running Linux Fedora. Are there Linux tools to perform this kind of operations?
A MD1200 is a simple JBOD and not a RAID Array. If you have a H820|H830 in your Server than its a standard PERC with external ports for connecting the MD. So press ctrl-d or p during boot and vipe existing config or deleting the existing VD and create a new one.
If you only have a 6G SAS which is only good for connecting the MD you need to use software raid within your linux OS like mdraid or what ever.
Yes... the PERC H800 is the one youre looking for. Just reboot the Server and than looking... its ctrl+d or p (cant remember), select the right HBA and than configure it.
