Adding drives to RAID 5
What is the best way to go about doing this? Can I just add a few more 72 Gb disks and then use the ACU software to increase the allotted amount to each logical drive? I am fairly new to dealing with RAID and I am the IT department here so any advice is greatly appreciated.
Thank you.
Tyson

Re: Adding drives to RAID 5
The downside of having multible Logical drives on a Smart array, is that you can extend the upper/last logical drive only.
But are you sure that you have got 2 logical drives?
And not 1 logical drive, that are partitioned by the OS ?

Re: Adding drives to RAID 5
Well, this is not true on most smart arrays. I am not sure about E200i. Most other smart array controllers allow extension of all logical drives in a disk group. Is this a limitation specific to E200i?
