I have DL360G5, with E200i array controller, 128MB cache + BBWC. It is running Windows 2008, as a member of the domain. I have a total of 4 disks there: 2x72GB SAS, 2x300GB SAS, with two mirrors, one for system, one for data. I'd like to move all those disks to a never DL380 G6, with P410i, 256MB cache + BBWC. The disks itself should be compatible and P410i should recognize old logical volumes without problems. The question is: will the Windows 2008 will be able to boot after swapping disks to DL380G6?

Yes, this should work. The RAID metadata is stored on the disks, and the format is the same between the controllers involved.
Please update firmware on all of the components before you do this.
As for Windows, this constitutes a platform change, so I don't know the full implications. But the system should technically boot.
