Upgrade Raid

Bom dia, ao instalar um servidor HP Proliant Dl380 Gen10, não configurei o RAID. Já estou com o servidor em operação e gostaria de configurar o RAID 1 com 2 HD. É possível fazer esta configuração sem perder as configurações do sistema operacional e programas instalados? Como fazer?

Good morning, when installing an HP Proliant Dl380 Gen10 server, I did not configure RAID. I already have the server in operation and would like to configure RAID 1 with 2 HDs. Is it possible to do this configuration without losing the operating system settings and installed programs? How to make?

Hello,

Before performing any changes to the configuration, backup data and configuration to safe guard from any issue.

Add the hard drives in the server and start the HPE Smart Storage Administrator. You may refer to section "6.2 Creating an Array" on page 21 of the "HPE Smart Storage Administrator GUI User Guide" for information.

Regards,

If you didn't configure RAID on the server, It should have RAID0 on it. You can confirm this by checking in HPE SSA utility.

If it is RAID0 and you want to configure RAID1, do note that RAID1 works on data mirroring principal. Which means for storing X TB of data, you would require 2X TB of space.
So if your RAID0 has 10TB of data (Example), you would need to allocate 10TB + 10TB for the data to be mirrored.
