How were the disks configured in the old server?  Were they in a RAID array?

If they were just two independent disks are you sure you installed the boot disk in the new server?

In that case you will need to install BOTH of the disks in the new computer for it to work.  Does the new computer have the same RAID adapter in it?  Hopefully the new RAID adapter will be able to see the existing RAID0 array.

hi

i would recommend installing the same type of raid controller or compatible one

lets say its was LSI, then get an other LSI raid controller

read the config from disks and connect to new esxi server.

kind regards Vervoort Jurgen VCP6-DCV, VCP-cloud http://www.vdssystems.be
