Can I replace them One at a time until all 4 are replaced with 36 Gig Drives without corupting the Data.
Will I be able to add another logical drive to get the additional space afterwards or will it be lost.

The answer to your question should be yes, but backup your data first.. Why not rebuild the server.. would be a lot quicker than waiting for disks to rebuild..

Re: DL580 Changing to Larger Raid 5 Drives Compaq Smart Array 5i Controller
Yes you can, but accourding to information i have. You will be getting the same data space as it is going to be 18 GB in place if you put 36 GB. While you do this, using array configuration utility you will get this error message :
The physical drives assigned to this array are different sizes. This results in 10% or more unusable space.
Are you sure you want to continue?
Check Image attached.

Solutionyou can do this without problems
i have done this many times.
after the replacement and rebuild of the last drive go into array configuration utility (acu)
then use the "expand logical drive" feature.
-----------------------------------------
when running windows 2000 make sure you have sp 3 or 4 - or you could lose date.
the larger logical drive will have the same partition size as the old disk. the additiuonal space will be presented to windows as free space.
if your disks are set to "dynamic disk" you can use windows to expand your existing partition.
if your disk is set to "basic disk", the download DISKPART.EXE from microsoft. you will need it to expand your disk
best regards

Re: DL580 Changing to Larger Raid 5 Drives Compaq Smart Array 5i Controller
!!!WARNING!!!
If you are using dynamic disks in 2000 logical drive extension is NOT supported at the array controller level unless you have a 5th generation controller or higher along with other criteria! You WILL lose your data over a period of time.
The Integrated ROC is a 4th generation controller.
