I've installed Centos 7 using a Dell Perc 6i using 1TB drives. I'm interested in replacing the 6i with a H700 to be able to use larger drives.

I am looking to understand the process so that I can make a decision about whether or not to do this. I would rather not have to re-install everything. I also do not want to have the 6i installed afterwards.

It looks like this has been covered pretty extensively over at the Dell Support forums. This write-up in particular looks fairly straightforward.

  • My question is not about the hardware. My question is about Centos itself. Can I just replace the 6i with the H700 and go about my merry way? Or, are there other steps that need to be done like rebuilding any boot files? – Gary_unk Apr 22 '21 at 20:23
  • I see. That wasn’t clear in the original post. As long as /boot and everything stays intact, it should be fine. – Ackack Apr 22 '21 at 21:25
  • ok. I was able to confirm that the driver used by the controllers is the same. – Gary_unk Apr 24 '21 at 00:15
