Array expansion
I have fileserver proliant DL 380 G3 with expansion slot which has fourteen 36,4GB harddrives. I want to replace all the drives with 72,8 disks. I have raid 5. I will add the drives to the expansion slot one by one and wait for rebuild.
Do you know how long the rebuild takes? once i have replaced all disks will i just expand the drive in ACU?
thanks!

Re: Array expansion
It should be fairly quick, but many factors an affect the time (i.e speed of disks e.t.c.)

Re: Array expansion
Aside form priority... there is Amount of free available space, amount of used space and current i/o operation to the controller all effect the speed of the rebuild..
Generally, and in the perfect world... it should take 15 minutes per GB.
After the fact, you will then be able to either extend your logical drive(s) and/or create new logical drives.
Depending on your OS, it may be easy/complicated to extend your partitions.
What OS are you running?
