LH3 adding additional drives?

I have a need to install 3 additional 36gig scsi drives and would like the proper procedure for this. Do I set the scsi id with the jumpers or will the system asign?

Re: LH3 adding additional drives?

If these are hot plug drives then the SCSI ID is assigned via the hotplug cage slot position.

Are your other drives also 36GB drives ?

If yes - you may want to expand the existing logical drive (if possible).

If not - create a new logical drive. A new RAID 5 logical drive will give you (3-1)*36GB=72 GB space.

RAID logical drive expansions or creation of new drives can be done via the NetRAID assistant tool (accessible from the OS) or from the ROM based NetRAID configuration tool (boot the system and press CTRL-M when prompted to do so).

Make a backup before you do this.
