I'm operating a Dell PowerEdge R740 server as a Ceph node. The current system boot configuration utilizes a single SAS SSD for the OS drive. I'm planning to migrate to an Dell BOSS M.2 SATA drive via PCIe adapter (two drives as RAID 1) (https://www.ebay.com/itm/296760576190) to optimize the storage configuration.


What would be the recommended procedure for performing a boot drive migration while maintaining system integrity and minimizing downtime? I'm particularly interested in methods that would ensure proper boot sector configuration and seamless transfer of the existing Proxmox installation.
