Hi, We have a Cisco UCS B200 M4. configured as an ESXI host with the ESXI O/S running on a single SD Card, we would like to add in another SD Card and re-configure with RAID 1 for redundancy. Does anyone know if this can this be done online and without affecting the original ESXi installation?
Thanks in advance.
Kind Regards,
Ryan

Greetings.
I think you are going to have to remove the server from the chassis by a few inches in order to be able to access the SD card slots (definitely not an online process ;) and be able to install the 2nd SD card.
Once you have installed the 2nd card, the blade rediscovers. you should be able to enable 'auto sync', and specify the 'admin' slot as the slot that will be the source drive of the mirroring.
Thanks,
Kirk..
