DL 380 expanding array

Hi,

I have checked the link
http://www.icare.hp.com.cn/TechCenter_StaticArticle/8583/11182.pdf

and I'd like to do exactly the same thing, substitute a logical drive on a RAID 5 on my DL 380 G3 (I think it is a G3, since it has Pentium III procs).

Currently this logical drive is composed by 3 disks of 36 Gb and I'd like to replace them by 3 ones of 72 Gb.

I have Exchange 2003 databases only stored on that data logical drive. I have read that It could take 15 minutes for each 1 Gb of data. Is the case when is in low or high priority?

the PDF says that only Windows NT, but I guess Windows 2003 Server is also fine, right?

Where can I get the last updates?

Miguel
