upgrade Netserver E60

hello,

new on the forum me to try to migrate my server.
2 disks of 10giga in mirror toward 2 disks of 36,4 giga in mirror also without
to lose the data.

I thought to make a ghost picture of the first disk of 10giga toward the first disk of 36,4 g
thank you for your answers

Re: upgrade Netserver E60

Hi,
is it hard- or software raid? If mirroring is done by windows it is very easy to do it your way. If you have a raid controller you can also make a ghost copy via network for example to a workstation. Don't forget the start diskette including the right network driver. After building a new raid array you load the image back to the new disks. This way is without any risk, because you have the old disks functional at every time. If you can place a minimum of three disks in the server you can copy from hard disk to hard disk and rebuild the raid 0 array afterwards (delete the old array, adding a disk to the new array and making this array the boot array).
Regards,
Manfred
