The data on the HPE StoreEasy Storage system must be backed up regularly to restore your data after a system recovery.
Recovery
Before a system recovery, you can replace existing physical drives. If you replace any drives, make sure that the replacement drives do not contain a logical drive partition. Reboot the HPE StoreEasy Storage system and select F10 for Intelligent Provisioning, and then select the Smart Storage Administrator to review current provisioning on the drives. Remove any old logical partitions from the replacement drives for the OS. For instructions on removing logical partitions, see the Smart Storage Administrator online help.
All data on the original OS logical drive is erased during the recovery process.
If you are restoring to a system that shares data and OS partition on the same drives, do not remove any partitions because it can result in data loss or corruption.
