Add new disc to RAID

Currently I have 2 mirrored 80GB discs in the RAID and I am trying to add a extra 320GB disc.

The status light for the disc is on, on the front of the discs caddy but when I tell use the HP Storage manager to rescan the RAID for disc changes it does not pick up the new disc.

What could be the issue? Or am I missing something?

Thanks,


Ben

Re: Add new disc to RAID

if your HHDs are mirrored, you have to add 2 more HDDs... not only one.

Re: Add new disc to RAID

I'm not 100% sure but the built-in sata raid controller doesn't supporto more than one RAID ...
