Migrating data from one storageset to another

Denzo Waruna — Thu, 07 Oct 2004 04:34:48 GMT

I've got a Raid5 storageset ( 8*18GB drives ). I've got SQL*2000 installed on it and my data also sits on the same unit. My problem is this unit is now too small for my data. I've purchased 72GB drives and created another Raid5 storageset and I'd like to move my data there. Is it possible to do this whithout having to reinstall SQL.
N.B I'm running HSH80 ACS8.6-P10 with an MA8000 subsystem. My hosts are W2K.

With this it soulld be quite easy, otherwise I am not sure.

Hello Denzo,
I am not a Windows specialist, but can't you simply stop SQL server, copy the data to the new disks, then change the drive letters and finally restart SQL?
