Re: Adding drives to RAID 5

Re: Adding drives to RAID 5

Well, my vendor sent me 3 146 GB drives so I have created a second RAID array with 1 logical drive. My new space shows up and it appears all I have to do now is initialize the disk in Disk Management so I can partition and format it. The only question I have is.. Am I supposed to do this using the ACU or am I fine using Disk Management?

Disk manager :)

Just like, if you put in a new physical disk.

Re: Adding drives to RAID 5

Thanks to everybody's advice above.. I successfully got my servers space upgraded :) I even used the above advice to add space to an existing logical drive on an ml350 G3 server as my vendor sent me the right size drives for that one.

Re: Adding drives to RAID 5

I am not exactly sure how the point thing works.. I thought I only had 10 points to divide... Therefore I gave both people half as both were helpful in getting me to where I now am. I'd give both of you 10's if I knew I could do that :)
