3rd SATA Disk on HPDL140G2?
Background:
Have a DL140G2 system with two SATA drives configured in a software RAID1 configuration.
Unfortunately a partition on each disk has gone bad, meaning we can't just throw in a new disk and have the array rebuild itself.
We'd like to add a 3rd SATA drive as a spare so it can get rebuilt correctly.
However it appears the DL140G2 has only two onboard SATA channels. What suggestions do you have as how to add a 3rd SATA disk to the system? Is our best bet a PCI SATA controller card?
The system is running RHEL4.

Re: 3rd SATA Disk on HPDL140G2?
How do you plan to add a third drive to this server? You have a space limitation...
Maximum Internal Storage:
Non-Hot Plug SATA 1TB 2 x 500GB
Non-Hot Plug SCSI 292GB 2 x 146GB
Even if you get the 8 Port SATA RAID controler (HP 8 Internal Port SAS HBA with RAID -> 347786-B21 ) which is the only option for this server, you cannot allocate any other drive inside the server..

Re: 3rd SATA Disk on HPDL140G2?
Hanging out the side is fine. This is for recovery purposes only remember? We just want to get the 3rd disk re-sync'd then we can get rid of the bad disks.
This is the exact approach we ended up using. Had to use an external drive array though.
Thanks anyways.

Re: 3rd SATA Disk on HPDL140G2?
By channels are you referingto cables or real channels? because teh 8 port SATA controller option 347786-B21, hast 2 channels too, but it has 4 ports (each port is splitted into 2 terminations).
Now, about how to provide power to this 3rd drive... no idea...
