Re: P400 RAID 5

Well, as we allready know, you have added the physical disk to the array. Array B.
That's good.

Now we need to check if you have extended the logical drive in the acu
Please post a screen shot of the logical view also.
On the second screen shot, please choose logical view (Top right or in the right pane).


Beware to extend a logical disk is a 4 step procedure:
1. Install physical disk. - Done.
2. Expand Array (ACU). - Done.
3. Extend Logical Drive (ACU). - Need to recheck.
4. Extend partition (Windows). - Waiting for step 3?

Re: P400 RAID 5

Sorry, my mistake, so you have :)

That's ood.
ACU reporting 2000 GB, and Windows 1300 GB.

A re-scan from device manager has been suggested. So I beleive, you have done so also.
In this case I have no better idea, than try with a shutdown / Power cycle.
Or if there's a bug in the FW, on the P400.

Re: P400 RAID 5

You're welcome.

I havn't seen this before.

If you're on a older FW, you could try with an upgrade.

Re: P400 RAID 5

The Array Configuration Utility I'am using is running 7.70.12.0, would there be an upgrade to this which I require to get this issue sorted.

Re: P400 RAID 5

What aboute the FW on the controller?.

The ACU is the management software only.
It's the smart Array controller, that report the logical disk size to the operating system.

Have you tried to reboot the server.
Hit F8 during POST, and check the logical disk size?

Latest FW is 7.18

Do beware of dependencies.
Read the release notes.
