@thanksajdotcom It is software RAID 1 at Centos
is the logical drive mounted? do you see any files? if so then it is likely fine.

@scottalanmiller Motherboard was not working so the company is going to buy new motherboard for this RAID1 devices
-
@thecreativeone91 Yes I saw the logical drives and it was working.Whether i need to use Samba server?

How will accessing via SMB change anything. It's just another method of accessing files. It can only share what the OS has access to already.
-
@thecreativeone91 By this method there will not come any issues.Right
-
If it's software RAID, it should be fine to move motherboards, but again, why?

So what's the purpose of the SMB shares?

In what way was it not working? When you say things like "new motherboard for this RAID 1 devices" we assume that you are confused and getting the motherboard for the wrong reasons because there is no connection between the motherboard and the RAID. That statements leads us to believe that you are buying a motherboard because you think it will affect the RAID, which it will not.

Whether you need to use it for what? To check RAID, absolutely not. Samba will work whether RAID does or not.
-
Also, I'm confused at how the RAID rebuilt if the motherboard is failed and they haven't replaced it. What are these hard drives currently running on?
-
@scottalanmiller Yes I understood the situation and I have already finished checking this motherboard also.But I have faced some issue in rebuilding the RAID at HP server which was already discussed by us.So my Senior engineer was so scared about the RAID 1 and he said me to check these kind of issues.

@scottalanmiller, is it just me or does it sound like his senior engineer is completely clueless?

Ah. So the motherboard is already been replace but someone else is worried about the RAID not working properly after the replacement?

I'm sorry, but this does not explain anything here. None of these things are related. He might as well have said that there was some confusion on an HP server so now you have to make him a sandwich when it rains. It's just nonsense.

Worse, because he's taking a role of "engineer" but lacks even intern knowledge so is actually doing damage.

@thecreativeone91 In testing the motherboard is replaced and checked.But in the company the motherboard is not replaced.

Ok, so you've used the hard drives from the system with the failed motherboard and connected them to a new motherboard to test but you haven't put that new motherboard into production yet. Is that correct?

Wait so why did the motherboard need to be tested? What was the reason. The Raid and motherboard are unlikely to be related. What issue where you having with the motherboard?

Sound slike paranoia to me.

Yes, he has a "senior engineer" who literally isn't qualified to be an IT intern in high school from everything we've seen. Zero knowledge of the most basic IT things. Doesn't seem to understand computers or even common sense at all. So this "engineer" keeps forcing him to do impossible or nonsensical things. @Lakshmana doesn't have a choice and isn't doing these things because he thinks it is a good idea. He is forced to work for an idiot that is, it would appear, trying to do bad things.
