Add disk to Smart Array Controller
Should I prepare to lose all my data and reinstall, or will the software detect and add the additional drive/space automatically?
I am running NT Server 4.0 with one array, one logical drive, and three physical drives.
Thanks!

Re: Add disk to Smart Array Controller
You should be able to expand the RAID 5 array and create a new logical disk using the additional space. NT will see this as a new disk.

Re: Add disk to Smart Array Controller
I will assume that if things go correctly, the drive will appear in "Compaq Smart Array Configuration Utility" and that I can append to the existing array A the additional space.
But, then how do I extend the NTFS partitions under Windows NT. Or is my only option to create another Windows partition with the extra space (I currently have a C: and a D: spread across the array)?
Thanks again.

Re: Add disk to Smart Array Controller
in the first step, you should
update the driver of the controller, then update the
firmware of the controller and the system.
Then you can add the drive with the ACU. You can add the disk to the raidset, and then you must add a new logical drive. The new logical drive
is a new drive in OS, you must create a new partition.
