Re: Smart Array 221 Array Expansion
Can you explain your existing config in more detail (No. of HDD, RAID level e.t.c), and what you want to change it too.

Re: Smart Array 221 Array Expansion
Also, is it possible to shut down the server, upgrade the Smart Array 221 to one that will allow Array Expansion within Windows, and then reboot the server and have the new card recognize the current Array Configuration?

Re: Smart Array 221 Array Expansion
Steps:
1. Add new controller (disk drives still on 221)
2. Install drivers for new array controller
3. Connect drives to new controller and boot server
4. rebuild array
5. connect again to 221
regards,
Andrzej Kowalik

Re: Smart Array 221 Array Expansion
If that is the case, then can I run ACU (hitting F8) and expand the array with the SA221 without having the upgrade the card?

Re: Smart Array 221 Array Expansion
However, it is good idea to backup all your data before such operation :))
