https://community.hpe.com/t5/disk-enclosures/expand-reduce-raid-5/m-p/2509217#M1545 Is there any utilties or future plans to be able to expand / reduce Compaq RAID's as does Server Magic can do for Netware Volumes / Netware Partitions. Why? Say I want to upgrade my 5 x 9Gb HDD in a RAID 5 config to 2 x 36GB drives. Currently the only way I can do this is, <BR />1) If I have enought slots, put the drives in the same server, create a new array and copy the partitions using server magic. <BR />2) If I don't have enough slots, have a test netware server to hold a ghost image of my netware partitions while I replace the drives, then ghost it back. <BR />3) Backup then restore.
