Adding a Drive with Compaq Array Config Utility
We are adding a drive to RAID-5 array on Compaq server with a compaq SMARTarray 2DH Controller. The array is holds the bootable partition, OS and data.
Running the Array Config Utlity in Windows NT Server allows us to add the drive to the array. After we expand the array to use the new free space available, it returns a message that says "Modifying thsi logical drive will cause all logical drives to be deleted. Any data will be lost..."
If this true? If so, what is the recommended process to add a drive?

Re: Adding a Drive with Compaq Array Config Utility
Hello;
The 2DH controller does not have the feature that allows you to extend a logical drive.
After adding the drive to the RAID-5 array, try adding an additional logical drive rather than extending the existing one.
Hope that helps,
Janine

To get results you've never had before, try something you've never tried before.

Re: Adding a Drive with Compaq Array Config Utility
Here is what I ended up doing...
At the system level (DOS), the Raid array was presented as C:.
So, I booted with a Ghost boot disk. Ghost Imaged the RAID Array C: Peer-to-Peer over ethernet to a workstation hard drive.
Killed the Raid Set, added the drive, then put the ghost back on.
It booted great. The pagefile.sys was set to zero, so I reset it. This makes sence...neither Ghost or myself wanted to image a page file.
The shares were also gone, so I added them. (Don't know why the shares were deleted.)
