Extend Storage Space from current RAID array after replacing HDDs with bigger size

nhathq — Sun, 21 Aug 2016 11:52:47 GMT

I have one server, HP DL360 G9 with the current RAID 6 array with: (RAID card P440ar)

- 01 x 1.2 TB 10k SAS drive

- 04 x 300 GB 10k SAS drive

Recent days, I replaced 04 1.2 TB 10k SAS drive for the 04 300GB drive. Now I want to extend the current logical volume of storage from the current RAID Array without re-configuring RAID array (because I want to keep the current state of system). I have no server which is available to make some test in BIOS utility because all servers are running for product environment. Can anyone help me to find out a solution or give me some guide for this case?

Thanks in advance

you can do what you want using HPE Smart Storage Administrator. Look to the Smart Array online array expansion. The User guide for HPE SSA can be found here: http://www.hp.com/ctg/Manual/c03909334
