Need Basic Help w/- Reconfiguring Array

Dave Onex — Wed, 20 Jul 2011 18:44:40 GMT

Hi Folks!

I've got a DL380 G7 w/16 disks that I'd like to re-configure. Specifically, I need to reclaim some of the disks so that they can be used for a different logical disk. I'm having a hard time getting my head around this so any help would be appreciated :-)

Can this be done? How would I go about this? My existing configuration is below;

Array Status OK

Array A

Drive Type SAS

Logical Drive(s) / Local OS Access Name

Logical Drive 1 (350.0 GB, RAID 60 - NPG: 2) \\.\PhysicalDrive0

Logical Drive 2 (2.9 TB, RAID 60 - NPG: 2) \\.\PhysicalDrive1

You will need to delete the Luns and configure new. Though LUNS can expanded, there is no option to reduce size/remove disks. You can view more about the same in below document.
