DL380 Capacity Issue
Hi
New to HP servers with limited Raid knowledge.
We have a DL380 G3 with the following:
C:\ = Disk0 and Disk1 - 36.4Gb (Raid1)
D:\ = Disk1/2/3/4 - 146.8 (Raid5)
Our D:\drive is getting low on disk space and I would like to utilise the hot spare (Disk5). I presume that that you cannot add another disk to the existing RAID5 setup dynamically? But itтАЩs really a case of what options I have available to me. Similarly there doesnтАЩt appear to be any tools on the server to view the RAID setup so I presume that this is only available at start-up via F8
If anybody has experienced a similar situation or can provide any input it would be much appreciated.

Re: DL380 Capacity Issue
As I see it, you have:
c:\ SCSI ID 0 and 1 (Raid 1)
d:\ SCSI IDs 2, 3, 4
and have SCSI ID 5 as an On-line Spare (OLS)
If so, use the ACU (Array Configuration Utility) http://h18023.www1.hp.com/support/files/server/us/download/22911.html
In this utility you would select the Spares Management and un-check the HDD that you are using as a OLS. Then you could add that HDD to the appropriate ARRAY and then Expand and Extend the Logical drive, this would give you more space but you would loose the OLS.
Regards,

Re: DL380 Capacity Issue
Yes d:\ is made up of d:\ SCSI IDs 2, 3, 4 (Raid5).
This looks exactly what I'm after -thanks. From what you have described this could be added dynamically without breaking the existing config. Obviously loosing the spare would mean we dont have an instant replacment if one disk went down - could we just purchase another disk as precaution and swap it out with a failed disk or doesnt it work that way?
Cheers

Re: DL380 Capacity Issue
So what you are saying is that if I used the HP tool to utilise the hot spare and add it to the array this wouldnt automatically extended the Windows logical drive size (and therfore create more space).
