Expanding Drive Space?
I have a ML 350 Server running W2k Standard Server OS.
The drives are configured as follows.
3 36.4 GB - raid 5
1 36.4 GB - spare
I added (1) 36.4 GB drive to the array successfully but need to expand the capacity of the Raid 5 array. How is this done?
I can see the raid 5 array (67.85 GB) and the 33.71 GB unallocated space in Disk Manager. How do I expand/add this space to the existing array? Disk type is Basic/NTFS
Thanks
Eric

Re: Expanding Drive Space?
Go to the Array Configuration Utility to do the same.
Basically, First you need to EXPAND the array.
& then EXTEND the Logical drive.
You should see the options on the right hand side once you select the array/logical drive.

Re: Expanding Drive Space?
I extended the array to 104 GB approx with 244 MB unused
Array A with Spare
Logical Drive 104 GB
Unused space 244 MB
utility 6.40
When I check disk manager in Windows, I still have 33.71 of unused space.
How do I utilze this space?
Thanks,
Eric

Re: Expanding Drive Space?
first you check the OS capabillity, then expand array by adding physical disc to the server and after array expansion you planing logical drive extension.
ACU is proper tool in this situation.
Good luck
